Three teams won conference championships and NCAA berths this weekend. Check out the recap to see who!
Men’s volleyball won their first EIVA championship since 1998, securing a bid to the NCAA tournament.
Men’s lacrosse (6–6, 1–3 Ivy) will face Harvard University (5–6, 1–3) on Saturday afternoon at Sherrerd Field in Princeton. The teams are tied for fifth in Ivy League play with two games remaining. This weekend’s match is high stakes — whichever team loses will be effectively eliminated from playoff contention.
Last year, Princeton women’s lacrosse (10–3, 4–1 Ivy) battled it out against Penn (9–4, 3–2) for the Ivy League crown and came away with a 13–10 victory. The two teams have been vying for the title and the automatic bid to the NCAAs for several decades, and Wednesday night was no different.
Entering the weekend with a 2–1 Ivy League record and in contention for the Ivy League title, Princeton men’s tennis (18–9 overall, 2–3 Ivy League) faced the 16th-ranked Columbia Lions (14–3, 4–0) at home on Friday and then traveled to Ithaca to take on Cornell (13–8, 4–0) on Sunday.

Men’s volleyball defeated St. Francis 3—1 and Penn State 3—0 this weekend, securing the conference title and earning themselves home court advantage in the EIVA playoffs for the first time in the program’s history.
Men’s lacrosse defeated Dartmouth on Saturday 13—4. Junior attacker Michael Sowers, with a six—point game, moved into second place in the program’s all—time points ranking. The victory was the first of three remaining Ivy League games, all of which the team must win in order to make the playoffs.
Check out a recap of this weekend’s games!
Princeton’s seniors helped lead the team to a 14–12 win over Harvard in its final regular season game at Sherrerd Field.
Men’s lacrosse (5–6, 0–3 Ivy) defeated Siena College (5–5, 3–2 MAAC) 19–10 on Tuesday night in a game that saw Princeton’s junior attacker Michael Sowers score six goals and contribute five assists for a career-high 11 points. The win was a boost to the team’s overall record but doesn’t aid its playoff hopes — they are still winless in the Ivy League.

Princeton’s baseball team played a three game series against Columbia on Saturday and Sunday where they won one and lost two against Lions. Senior Max West remains hopeful about the remainder of the season, though, “We have every piece of the puzzle that we need to be a winning team, and in these next coming weeks we’re just going to have to put it all together.”
Men’s tennis split the weekend, defeating Dartmouth and falling to Harvard. “It’s a game of inches, and we’re all pretty evenly matched,“ head coach Billy Pate said. The Tigers will face Columbia on Friday for their last home match being a three-game road trip to end Ivy League play.
