Accomplished freshmen aim for Ivy title

Andrew Steele

Even having lost Mark Linnville ’13, a superstar center back who graduated with four first-team all-Ivy selections, and two-time first-team all-league selection Matt Sanner ’13, the men’s soccer team has fixed its sights on an Ivy League championship in 2013 and, with the addition of a promising class of freshmen, the squad looks to return to the NCAA Tournament after a two-year absence. Head coach Jim Barlow welcomes seven freshmen to the program: one goalkeeper, two defenders and four midfielders. “Everyone we recruit is a person who we think has the ability to make an impact and compete for a spot right away,” Barlow said. Each freshman is accomplished at the high school and club level.

Trace amounts of banned A-Rod found in Princeton

BY STEPHEN WOOD Sports Editor Embattled probably-still-future MLB Hall of Famer Alex Rodriguez and his girlfriend, Torrie Wilson, stopped by Princetonon Saturday, presumably on the way to meet with one of Rodriguez’s attorneys, according to the NY Post. The Yankees third baseman, whose 2013 season has been made a nightmare by nagging injuries and the Biogenesis scandal, reportedly toured several of the campus’ notable buildings and visited the baseball and football fields. No word on the exact purpose of the visit, although it’s possible that A-Rod was hoping to getMike Ford’s autograph. Or maybe it was a college visit.
