As the old saying goes, nothing in life is certain except death and taxes.

In the heavyweight title fight for the Ivy League women's soccer championship, the bell just rang for the beginning of the third round."We kind of see this as phase three of the season ? the last third of the regular season," head coach Julie Shackford said.After wins against major league rivals Dartmouth and Harvard, the Tigers seem to have their conference competition on the ropes.With three important games in the next two weeks, however, this is not the time for Princeton to start looking past its competition."As a head coach, I'm always worried about a letdown after a big game," Shackford said.The first test of how well the Tigers will perform in the driver's seat comes this Saturday when Cornell (3-5-3 overall, 1-2-1 Ivy League) comes to Lourie-Love Field."Cornell will be a tough team ? they beat Yale and are much improved," Shackford said.Improved or not, the Big Red lacks the heavy-hitting offensive muscle of the tougher teams the Tiger defense has contained this season.
In life, lessons are everywhere. For instance, the field hockey team could learn an important lesson from a cinematic supervillian.
