Women's soccer did everything it needed to do over Fall Break, but its efforts just weren't enough.
It's the time of year for trick-or-treating, but on Saturday at Princeton Stadium, the football team wasn't tricked.The Tigers (5-2 overall, 3-1 Ivy League) overcame Cornell's devious special teams to earn a critical Ivy League win off the right foot of senior kicker Derek Javarone.
With just five games remaining in the men's soccer season, the prospect of Princeton (3-6-3 overall, 0-2-1 Ivy League) claiming the Ivy League title for the first time since 2001 has all but disappeared.
Despite the momentum they've been playing with this season, the Princeton men's and women's tennis teams were reminded this past weekend that they can't win them all.In a disappointing start at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regionals hosted by Army at Lichtenberg Tennis Center, the Tigers didn't play as well as they would have liked.
Midterm week may be over, but the men's water polo team still has one major test left. This weekend the No.
LEXINGTON, Va. ? For the first time in years, the sprint football team had a reason to celebrate.Senior Frank Langston ran for two touchdowns and sophomore quarterback Alex Kandabarow hit classmate Lon Johnson on 53-yard scoring pass to lead the Tigers to a 19-7 win over the Virginia Military Institute on Saturday for Princeton's first win since 1999.The Tigers had lost 40 straight games against Collegiate Sprint Football League opponents before beating VMI, a club team in its first season of intercollegiate play."It feels very, very, very good," Princeton head coach Bill Hickey said.
It is a common theme in sports that when a team is able to control its own destiny and win big games, the other pieces will all fall into place.

Cross country races are determined by who wants to win more on any given day, not by the numbers on a piece paper.Though they were not the favorites, the men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Van Cortlandt Park in New York on Oct.28 with the belief they could win at Heptagonals ? and it paid off.

When the football team steps onto the Franklin Field turf in Philadelphia on Saturday at noon, the Tigers will do so with the confidence of a team sitting atop the Ivy League standings.So will their opponents.A full half of the Ancient Eight teams will begin Saturday in first place, in fact, each boasting a 3-1 record in league play.
If VMI puts forth even half the effort that other military colleges in the Collegiate Sprint Football League have against the Tigers, Princeton will have its hands full on the road in Lexington, Va., on Saturday afternoon in the first-ever meeting between the two teams."[Head coach Bill Hickey] has made sure to convey the gravity of this game to us," sophomore quarterback Alex Kandabarow said.

If practice makes perfect, then Princeton's team has already had two games to be perfectly prepared for this weekend's matchup against Cornell.The Tigers (4-2 overall, 2-1 Ivy League) face the Big Red (3-3, 1-2) on Saturday and will attempt to stop the Ivy League's strongest rushing team from derailing what's been a promising season so far.But after facing Brown's Nick Hartigan and Harvard's Clifton Dawson, the Tigers hope to be ready to stop Cornell and its star back, Luke Siwula, on the ground.That's not to say the contest won't be a challenge, though, for the Big Red offense is full of pitfalls for Princeton."Their running back is very good at picking the creases.
