With three games in six days, Fall Break was no time for relaxing for the field hockey team (13-3 overall, 7-0 Ivy League). It became, however, a time for celebration as Princeton posted three big wins over UConn, Cornell and Penn, earning its seventh consecutive Ivy championship....Princeton kicked off the week with a 2-0 shutout win over then-No.
As time ticked off the clock late in the women's soccer game against Penn on Saturday night, the offensive mistakes, the sometimes-sloppy play and the missed opportunities of a season were forgotten.All the Tigers (13-4 overall, 6-1 Ivy League) focused on was the fact that if they could hold on to a 1-0 lead for a little longer, this group would be able to accomplish something no Princeton team had done since 1983 ? win an Ivy League Championship..As senior midfielder Julie Shaner and senior forward Amee Reyes froze the ball deep in the Quakers' end of the field, the clock ran out with the score 1-0 and the dream of the Class of 2001 finally came true.The Tigers had finished the season 6-1 in the league to tie with Dartmouth for the championship, but Princeton earned the automatic berth into the NCAA tournament by virtue of a 1-0 win over the Big Green on Sept.
Two plays that never should have happened led to two league losses for the football team during the break.The first proved that the point after is not an afterthought.

Hoping to continue its ascent in the national field hockey rankings, Princeton (10-3 overall, 5-0 Ivy League) will head to Storrs, Conn., this weekend to take on No.
Rowers spend their lives trying not to stand out from the crowd. As far as sports go, crew is as unglamorous as they come.But every four years, rowers are given the chance to stand out in the spectacle of the Olympics ? standing alongside the world's other great, but more heralded, athletes.A number of Princetonian rowers, past and present, had the chance to compete in the 2000 Sydney Games.
In a wide open Ivy League football race featuring several potent offenses and numerous high-scoring games, the quarterback position has become one of utmost importance.Princeton (2-4 overall, 2-1 Ivy League) in particular has benefited from high quality passing this year ? but from multiple sources.While the Tigers have been blessed with tremendous depth at football's most important position, they have been cursed with the misfortune of having to test that depth.Last week against Harvard, the bad karma continued as freshman David Splithoff ? the third quarterback to start for the Tigers ? suffered an injured jaw on the Tigers' final offensive play.
