Women's Basketball: Pressure, depth lead hosts to victory

Luc Cohen

In a fast-paced game that turned into a blowout in the final stages, the women’s basketball team opened its season with a 79-62 victory over St. Joseph’s. The Tigers suffered a tough overtime loss to the Hawks last year but got revenge thanks to a full-court press that forced 28 turnovers, paired with strong offensive performances from junior forwards Niveen Rasheed and Kate Miller.

Women's Volleyball: Senior trio plays final matches at Dillon

The women’s volleyball team will close out its 2011 season this weekend with home matches against Cornell and Columbia. Princeton (16-8 overall, 9-3 Ivy League) is currently tied with the Lions (15-8, 9-3) for second place in league play heading into the final weekend. The Tigers still have a shot at winning the Ivy League title, but they will need to not only win both matches this weekend, but also have Yale lose both of its final contests.

Men's Hockey: Prier takes on alma mater

Ali Goedecke

As the men’s ice hockey team enters its third week of regular-season play, it hopes to reverse the tide of its opening games. The Tigers captured their only win a week ago at Harvard, when sophomore forward Eric Carlson helped cap a first-period advantage. As Princeton prepares to host St. Lawrence tonight at 7 p.m. and Clarkson tomorrow at 4 p.m., the Tigers must not only take more early leads, but also use their most recent away game against Dartmouth as a reminder to follow through on early advantages.

Men's Basketball: Henderson ’98 era begins on Saturday

Shayan Rakhit

The last time the men’s basketball team was in game action, it was under the bright lights of the St. Pete Times Forum against an eventual Final Four team in the NCAA Tournament. That was a different team, a different season, with a different head coach. On Saturday, the Tigers will take the floor again, as the tenure of head coach Mitch Henderson ’98 begins back home at Jadwin Gymnasium against Wagner.

Column: Princeton athletes enjoy warm training climates over break

Andrew Finkelstein

Fall Break was not particularly eventful in Chevy Chase, Md., a suburb of Washington, D.C. Born and raised in the area, I will gladly praise the nation’s capital as one of the best cities in America. But, thanks to Princeton’s Office of Poor Vacation Scheduling, I now know that ridin’ solo in any city is not nearly as fun as Jason Derulo makes it out to be. Without my party-rocking high school crew, all of whom attend universities with reasonable Fall Break schedules, the energetic city I have grown to love was as entertaining as deriving the Slutsky equation.

Sprint Football: Questions surround program’s future

Teddy Schleifer

In the first game of the 1999 season, the sprint football team did something that it hasn’t done in an official game since: win. Following their 12-7 victory over Cornell at home, the Tigers dropped the next five games of the 1999 campaign. The next season, they went winless again. And then again. And then again. Since that fall day, the Tigers have dropped 80 straight official games.

Men's Basketball: No looking back as Henderson ’98 takes charge

Kevin Whitaker

How do you follow a historic season?Coming off a 25-7 campaign that included the program’s first Ivy League title in seven years, two comeback victories in the final week of the season, a buzzer-beating playoff victory and a last-second loss in the NCAA Tournament, it seems almost impossible for the men's basketball team to match last year's excitement. The 2011-12 Tigers, led by new head coach Mitch Henderson ’98, will instead form their own identity in an increasingly competitive conference.

Women's Basketball: Ivy favorites to benefit from Rasheed’s return

Luc Cohen

When a team goes 24-5 overall and 13-1 in its league for a full season, it might seem that the most logical strategy would be to continue doing the same things. But the women’s basketball team acknowledges that its composition has changed significantly over the offseason, and the Tigers have spent the first few weeks of practice adjusting their style of play accordingly.
