Women’s tennis concludes busy week featuring two tournaments

Miranda Hasty

In one of the busiest weeks any Princeton sports team has had this year, the women's tennis team competed in two separate tournaments last week. Half the team traveled to the midwest to compete against 31 other schools in the Milwaukee Tennis Classic. Meanwhile, the other half stayed closer to home, competing in the Cissie Leary Invitational hosted by Penn.

Football strives for bounce-back season

Jack Graham

At first glance, Princeton football does not appear to be in a great position heading into the 2018 season. Not only are the Tigers coming off an underwhelming, second-to-last finish in the 2017 Ivy League standings, but they also graduated quarterback Chad Kanoff, now playing in the NFL for the Arizona Cardinals, who in 2017 indisputably posted the most impressive season by a quarterback in Princeton history. Further examination, however, reveals the Tigers have good reason for optimism.

Women’s volleyball hopes to earn fourth consecutive Ivy League Championship

Alissa Selover

In November 2017, the Princeton women’s volleyball team won its third straight Ivy League Championship. While it was initially tied with Yale for the Ivy League title, a tiebreaker game allowed the Tigers to clinch the outright title and advance to the NCAA tournament, where they fell to Iowa State in three sets. Coming off of an 18–8 overall and 10–4 conference record, the Tigers are hungry for the same success.

Men’s soccer (4–3) shakes off rough start and looks forward to Ivy League opener

David Xin

The men’s soccer team had a tough start to the 2018 season, losing three out of its first four games. These losses were made especially tough given Princeton’s strong performances in these matches. The Tigers outshot Bradley 15–6 in their 2–1 loss and had five shots in their 1–0 defeat at the hands of Monmouth.

Whether it was fourth-ranked Duke, 13th-ranked Delaware, or even unranked Monmouth, the Tigers’ field hockey team (5–3 overall) has been able to defend its home field throughout the early part of the season. But after their double-overtime thriller against No. 3 Maryland, the fifth-ranked Tigers no longer have a perfect record at home.

Owen Tedford

Tonight, the men’s soccer team will take the short trip over to Lawrenceville, New Jersey, to take on its neighbor Rider (12–5–2 overall, 6–2–2 conference) at 7 p.m. Princeton (3–3 overall) has rebounded after a slow start to its season, winning its last two games at its temporary home field of Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium, traditionally the lacrosse field. Both the men’s and women’s soccer teams have been moved there from Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium for the last week due to the heavy rain Princeton got the weekend of Sept. 8.
