The Princeton women’s ice hockey team suffered a 4-0 defeat in the ECAC semifinals last weekend when they faced Clarkson.
The Princeton men’s ice hockey season this year can be viewed as one long comeback. Situated in the cellar of the ECAC for much of the beginning of the season, the team clawed back to earn a No. 7 seed and home ice for the first round of the conference tournament. However, this pales in comparison to the comeback pulled by the team in this weekend’s three-game playoff series against Colgate. Literally a second from elimination, Princeton fought back to win the series and advance in the tournament.
Coming into this weekend, the Tigers knew that they would be invited to the inaugural Ivy League tournament. What they didn’t know, however, was if they would be there defending a regular season title or just looking to turn a second or third place finish into a spot in the Big Dance this March.

With time winding down and the game tied at 69 each, Princeton needed someone to step up and score the decisive basket. Enter junior guard Amir Bell. Bell’s drive to the basket and floater with 1.1 seconds left put everyone in Jadwin Gymnasium on the edge of their seat. When the ball came through the hoop, the arena erupted.

Saying that the meet was exciting would be an understatement. Many Princeton alumni came to cheer on the teams alongside families and friends of the competitors.
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing for the Princeton wrestling team. Competing in an Ivy League dominated for decades by Cornell, as well as competing within the fiercely competitive EIWA, the Tigers have often struggled to find their place in a sport traditionally dominated by large, storied Midwestern programs. Head coach Chris Ayres, however, has turned Princeton from an insignificant contender in college wrestling to a consistent placer in the NCAA national championships, one of the most dangerous squads in the EIWA.
For four years, women's basketball seniors Taylor Brown, Vanessa Smith, and Jackie Reyneke have made Jadwin Gymnasium their home. On Saturday, they walked off the court for their final time at Jadwin, capping a wild and record-setting four years for the Class of 2017.
