Women's hockey picks up three points on sojourn to Maine

After a nine-hour drive, it just would not be fair to leave without a win.Far up the coast in Orono this weekend for two games against Maine, the Princeton women's hockey team salvaged a 3-1 victory Saturday after losing a third-period lead the night before in a 4-4 tie.With the Eastern College Athletic Conference season winding down, the Tigers (14-6-3 overall, 9-3-0 ECAC-North) had, coming into last weekend's action, just six games left to make a last gasp at the Northern division title.

Men win five events

The non-team scored Princeton Invitational, held at Jadwin Gym served several purposes for the men's track team ? a tune up, a last chance qualifier or a last race of season, depending on the individual competitor.With more than 40 athletes representing 12 schools ? including Ivy rival Columbia ? competing, Princeton recorded five first place finishes.Several distance runners who look to play a key role in the point tally at the Heptagonal Championships next weekend were given the weekend off by Coach Mike Brady in order to have an uninterrupted training period prior to the League meet, and to reclaim a fresh desire to race that comes from having time off between meets.Despite missing some of the traditional high scorers, the distance running faction asserted its dominance in the 1000m, where a 1-2-3 Princeton sweep was led by senior Seamus Whelton, who finished with a time of two minutes, 27.97 seconds.Teammates junior Ed Zysick and freshman Tyson Evensen finished within the subsequent second.Sophomore Rob Hulick?in the absence of provisional NCAA qualifiers David Dean and Ryan Smith ? captured the 800m in a time of 1:53.91."The depth of our middle distance program makes Coach Brady's decision as to who gets to represent Princeton at Heps very difficult," sophomore Colin Brown said.Brown raced in the 1000 meters for the Tigers.Senior cross-country captain and All-Ivy distance runner Wesley Stockard, who has been hampered by illness most of the indoor season, entered the men's 5000m with the intent of running a qualifying time for the seeded section of the 5000m at Heps.

Beauvais-McCarthy returns as best scorer

Beauvais-McCarthy returns as best scorer

Water polo, as practitioners of the sport know, is primarily a West Coast fascination. Californian schools such as Stanford and University of California-San Jose have traditionally dominated the game, though the playing field has gradually become more level with the advent of the spread of the sport across the country.Still, perhaps the most telling detail of the disparity involved in water polo lies in the fact that out of all three All-America teams for the 2000-01 season, only one person was not from a California university.That one person was second team All-America Adele McCarthy-Beauvais, a current junior at Princeton.McCarthy-Beauvais is one of the major reasons behind the Tigers' success in past seasons, most recently leading the team to a third consecutive Eastern College Athletic Conference championship as well as a second consecutive Southern Championship.For her efforts she was awarded MVP honors in both tournaments.

Frosh expected to make immediate contribution to team

Freshmen are often considered the bottom rung of the social hierarchy. They can, however, occasionally serve a useful purpose.The women's water polo team hopes that freshmen can be the difference this year in its goal of winning the Eastern Championships.The Tigers came ever so close to the title last season, but were thwarted by Brown in a 11-10 sudden-death double-overtime match in the finals of the Eastern Championships.The Tigers will rely on the play of seven freshmen to try and fill the void left by departing seniors and also to patch up the few holes in the team from last season.Freshmen two-meter Kathyrn Parolin and Mariah Zebrowski and also defender Julie Garton are just a few who will be counted on to adapt quickly to the college game."Jules brings speed to our counter and Kathryn and Mariah will help Adele [McCarthy-Beauvais] out in set," junior defender Jenny Edwards said.

Harvard, Dartmouth head down to Jadwin to take on sliding men's basketball

How bad was the men's basketball team against Penn Tuesday night? Not only did the Tigers lose by 24 points, but they also had six more fouls than field goals.But one game ? even if a pathetic one ? does not an Ivy League season make.And Princeton is still second in the conference at 5-2 (9-9 overall against Division I teams, 1-0 against D-III teams). The Tigers, who have lost back-to-back league matchups to Penn and Yale, haven't lost three Ivy games in a row since head coach John Thompson '88 turned his tassel in front of Nassau Hall.This weekend, the Tigers play Harvard and Dartmouth at Jadwin Gym, where they have won 50 straight conference matchups that weren't against Penn.The Crimson come to town Saturday night.

Quakers take early lead and embarrass men's basketball, 62-38

As the Princeton announcer introduced the Penn players, the Quakers clutched one another and hopped in a circle like overactive toddlers in a playground.Then, like stern and conscientous parents they locked the backdoor, eliminated all fire hazards and set an example for others to follow.The men's basketball team (10-9 overall, 5-2 Ivy League) bowed to Penn (17-6, 4-3), losing 62-38, in its most crushing loss this season."We got spanked," freshman guard Will Venable said.Princeton missed shots in a variety of ways ? clanging balls over the rim, bouncing them off the blackboard, fumbling layup attempts and three-pointers alike.
