The No. 8 men’s lacrosse team topped No. 19 Brown in dramatic fashion Saturday. The Tigers (6-2 overall, 2-1 Ivy League) had a comfortable 15-8 lead by the end of the game, but not without unfavorable numbers on the scoreboard in the first frame and a scare in the final quarter. Freshman attack Ryan Ambler kicked off a streak of nine unanswered goals against Brown (5-3, 1-1) in the middle 38 minutes.
The No. 12 men’s lacrosse team handled Hofstra with relative ease last week and the Tigers (1-0) refuse to be intimidated as they head south to Baltimore to play No.

The men’s hockey team defeated Rensselaer in a 5-3 nail biter on Friday. The following day, a three-goal rally in the third period forced overtime against No. 9 Union, which ended in a 3-3 draw.

In its first of two games in the Denver Cup Classic, the men’s hockey team outshot its opponent but ceded the scoreboard in a 3-0 shutout. But Princeton reversed the pattern on Saturday, ending its three-game losing streak with a win over Providence in the event’s second and final game.
