Squash: No. 3 Tigers recover for weekend sweep

Entering the weekend, senior No. 2 and co-captain Dave Letourneau of the men’s squash team had never lost an individual Ivy League match. But after fighting a high fever all week, whether or not Letourneau would even take the court for the team’s final regular-season Ancient Eight contests remained unclear until Saturday. Though visibly weakened on the court, Letourneau capped his Ivy career with two more wins, and the rest of his teammates followed suit as No. 3 Princeton (8-1 overall, 5-1 Ivy League) topped No. 7 Dartmouth (8-6, 1-4) 9-0 on Saturday and No. 6 Harvard (7-3, 3-2) 7-2 on Sunday.

Women's Basketball: Crimson snaps 22-game conference streak

While the men’s basketball team celebrated with a packed student section after beating Harvard at Jadwin Gymnasium, the women’s team headed into the locker room 260 miles away in Cambridge, Mass., as the losing team. Despite the 73-67 loss, however, the Tigers (15-4 overall, 4-1 Ivy League) managed to rebound the next day in Hanover, N.H., defeating Dartmouth (5-14, 1-4) handily by a score of 75-50. Nevertheless, the loss to the Crimson (5-0, 13-6) means that the road to an Ivy League Championship and NCAA Tournament appearance won’t be quite as simple for Princeton as it was last season.
