Loudmouths beat 'Prince' sports

Friday night, on the side court next to the storied main floor of Jadwin Gymnasium, the sports staffs of the two titans of Princeton media ? The Daily Princetonian and WPRB ? waged their annual blood feud of a battle in the 2005 Matt Oxman '01 Classic.Proving that the good guys never win, the loudmouth shock-rockers of WPRB jumped to an early lead and breezed to a 64-49 victory over the oft-frazzled, yet still eloquent, scribes of the 'Prince.'Despite having claimed victory last year, the 'Prince' entered the game as the substantial underdog, and with good reason, after the Benedict Arnold-esque off-season defection of sophomore center Meka Asonye from the 'Prince' to WPRB.

Baseball roughs up Rider in finale

After missing a chance to play for an Ivy League championship by a single game, the baseball team's season came to an end Wednesday with a solid 5-1 win over Rider.Princeton (17-24 overall, 10-10 Ivy League) used a strong outing by sophomore pitcher Wills Sweney and a three-hit effort from sophomore third baseman Sal Iacono to overcome the Broncos (12-26). Though the Tigers had hoped to use the game as a warmup for the Ivy League Championship series, a weekend split against Cornell relegated Princeton to second place in the Gehrig Division, leaving the team without a post-season.Sweney allowed only four hits and one unearned run over five innings to improve to 2-5 on the year.Rider's lone run came in the top of the second, when centerfielder Mike Poalise reached on a throwing error by junior shortstop Matthew Becker.
