Having dropped three of their last four Ivy League games, the softball team stood like a wavering army, seeing their hopes of a third consecutive Ivy League championship about to disappear in a rout.
It's not too often that a team can split its roster, send a group of its strongest athletes to a competition focused on individual results, send the rest of the squad to a team competition and be successful in both.
The results were the same, even if the means were different.After exploding for 33 runs to take both ends of a video-game-style doubleheader Saturday afternoon, the baseball team notched two more victories on Sunday in far more conventional contests.With the four-game sweep, Princeton (18-13 overall, 7-5 Ivy League) leapfrogged their hosts for the weekend, Columbia (9-21, 6-10), to grab the top spot in the Lou Gehrig division, turning a one-game deficit into a three-game lead and putting the Tigers in the driver's seat in the race to qualify for the Ivy League Championship Series."We always set our sights on three wins, and getting the fourth is a great bonus," head coach Scott Bradley said.
The Harvard men's lacrosse team was left shaking its head on Saturday at the 13-4 parting gift given to it by the Tigers.
With a victory over Harvard on Saturday, women's lacrosse is now just two games away from a perfect league season and sole possession of the Ivy League title.After dominating their contest against the Crimson (5-7 overall, 0-4 Ivy League) in Cambridge, Mass., the Tigers (13-0, 5-0) emerged with a 17-7 win.The victory essentially ensures that Princeton will remain the unanimous choice as the nation's No.

It was a night for the record books.With last night's 10-3 win over unranked Penn (7-6 overall, 3-2 Ivy League), No.
The baseball team was soundly shellacked in an intrastate matchup with Rutgers yesterday afternoon, as the home-standing Scarlet Knights roughed up three Princeton hurlers en route to an easy 15-6 victory.Although the Tigers (14-13 overall, 3-5 Ivy League) managed to bang out 15 hits, it did them little good, as they stranded runners on base nearly every inning.
" . . . Cause it's one, two, three strikes you're out at the ol' ball game."For those of you living under a rock, or seniors who are still working on their theses, let me inform you that baseball season has officially begun.
My dog hates NBA playoff time. He always watches with me, and when the Minnesota Timberwolves make their annual first-round exit I enter into my postmortem crestfallen rage and throw things in his direction (not at him, PETA).But this year I'm downright giddy.

This weekend the softball team will cross the Rubicon, as they host Brown and Yale in two doubleheaders that could send the team to another glorious Ivy League title or see the team's title hopes dashed.With Harvard, who swept the Tigers in a doubleheader last Saturday, sitting atop the league standings with a perfect 4-0 record, the die most certainly has been cast.Princeton (16-13 overall, 3-3 Ivy League) currently finds itself in a disappointing fourth place in the league and in the midst of a four-game losing streak.

Harvard is coming off a rousing 6-1 win in Ithaca against Cornell, the only loss coming from Jonathan Chu at No.
With a forecast calling for sun and temperatures in the 60s this weekend there will be no excuse to not go out and enjoy one of the three crew races Princeton teams will be competing in here in New Jersey.Both the open women and lightweight men's teams will be at home Saturday while the women's lightweight team will be competing in Camden, N.J.
It's not often that a Princeton student complains about having too much free time. So when senior Thomas Pauly says he misses "staying busy with work," you assume he's joking.He's not.But Pauly isn't your average just-finished-with-his-thesis senior.
When Penn defenseman Joseph Shanagan scooped up a loose ball deep in his own territory, darted downfield and poked a shot past Princeton sophomore goalkeeper Dave Law early in the fourth quarter Tuesday at Class of 1952 Stadium, what had begun as a routine league matchup on a dismal weekday afternoon suddenly turned into the most important game of lacrosse the Tigers have played all season.No.
