Prager and senior Matt Streibel it would be easy to assume that a freshman would have trouble cracking into the rotation for the men's lacrosse team.Freshman Ryan Boyle has not only cracked into that rotation but has taken it over and now leads the team in scoring with 11 goals and 16 assists through the first eight games of the season.But it was one week ago when the freshman had his breakthrough game.

Baseball sweeps pair with Dartmouth

Baseball sweeps pair with Dartmouth

Sometimes the baseball team rides its pitching. Sometimes the bats carry the Tigers. And if there is one overriding message to be learned from Saturday's doubleheader against Dartmouth, it is this: Princeton can win either way.In a rematch of last year's Ivy League championship series, the Tigers (9-15 overall, 4-2 Ivy League) easily handled the Big Green (6-11, 2-4), winning the first game, 1-0, behind sophomore righthander Ryan Quillian, and then taking the second, 9-6.With every start, Quillian seems to get more and more comfortable in his role as the team's No.
