Despite aggravating his left knee after his sixth match, sophomore Greg Parker fought through two more, placing sixth at the Midlands Tournament in Evanston, Ill., Dec.
They say persistence is a virtue.But according to Webster's, the word "nagging" means "to be a persistent source of annoyance or distraction."Most of the men's basketball team has nagging injuries going into this weekend's games, and the Tigers probably side more with the dictionary in this case than the adage.
A look at the overall record of the men's hockey team is not encouraging for Tiger fans. Currently riding a six-game losing streak, five of which were non-conference affairs, Princeton sits at 5-9-3 ? one of the worst overall records in the Eastern College Athletic Conference.A quick glance at the ECAC standings, however, shows that the Tigers are in third place with a respectable 4-4-2 conference record that gives them 10 points.
The men's and women's swimming teams completed a successful Winter Break as both squads beat Rutgers last Friday and then the men traveled to Hanover, N.H., on Sunday and cruised past Dartmouth, 149-89.In the Tigers' 164-136 win over Rutgers, the women were led by junior Kate Conroy and freshman Lauren Rossi, both of whom won two events ? Conroy in the 100- and 200-meter backstrokes and Rossi in the 100 and 200 breaststroke.

The men's hockey team was Sisyphus, rolling the unyielding boulder up the mountain of nationally-ranked opponents.
NEW YORK - As St. Nick prepared for his long journey, the men's basketball team began an arduous trip of its own.
It may be Christmastime, and this may be the season when wishes come true, but the women's basketball team is not just sitting around imagining its own version of dancing sugar plums ? that tantalizing first win."We've been practicing more intensely and working harder," sophomore forward Lee Culp said.
In ice hockey, the position of goalie is different from any other. The goalkeeper does not serve penalty time, nor does she change lines with the rest of the team.
Fifteen feet. Five yards. A distance shorter than the length of a Butler double. Two VW Beetles. One quarter the distance from the mound to home plate.
With 4.3 seconds remaining, Ed Persia took the pass, lost his footing momentarily, then dashed upcourt before firing a desperation shot that boomed off the backboard as time expired.
Josh Sims '00 stared as Chris Massey's shot rebounded off the goal, then he streaked forward. The game was in overtime against perennial lacrosse power Johns Hopkins, the score knotted at 6-6.
Anyone that has read espn.com or watch SportsCenter has seen the staggering numbers:$25.2 million per year.$155,555 per game.$17,284 per inning.$3,000 per out.$520 per pitch.That's right ? a $252 million contract spread out over the course of ten years.That's enough money to buy six different major league franchises ? the Cubs, the Giants, the Cardinals, the Tigers, the Phillies and the Twins.That's enough money to purchase most of the stadiums used by Major League Baseball and the National Football League.That's more than the GNP of many small countries, and guess what ? it's all going to be deposited into the bank account of one single person, Alex Rodriguez.Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to question the abilities of the most well-rounded player in baseball.
PHILADELPHIA? It is a scene that most Philadelphia basketball fans have seen before. Bill Carmody sits at the end of the bench, legs crossed, intently watching the action on the floor of a modest college basketball arena.On the far side of the court, his team executes the vaunted Princeton offensive system.
