ROAD WARRIOR: Princeton University junior forward Kyle Koncz battles through two Lafayette defenders in Princeton's 44-42 win over the Leopards last week in Easton, Pa. The Tigers improved to 5-2 with a 53-51 win over Northwestern State last Saturday in a consolation game at the Blue and Gold Classic in Milwaukee, Wis. Koncz has been a pivotal player for Princeton, leading the team in scoring with a 12.4 average, reaching double figures six times. The Tigers, who have not yet played a game in New Jersey this season, make their home debut on December 6 when they host Lehigh.

Things came pretty easily at the outset for the Princeton High boys' ice hockey team last Friday night as it opened the 2006-07 season.
The Little Tigers scored two goals in the first five minutes to jump out to a 2-0 lead over defending Mercer County Tournament champion Steinert.
For that five-minute stretch, PHS looked like it might follow in the footsteps of last year's team which roared out of the gate with an 11-0-2 record.
But using mainly two lines up front and dealing with a shortage of defensemen, PHS couldn't hold its lead as the teams battled on a slushy rink at Mercer County Park.

The Princeton Day School girls' hockey team will have little margin for error this winter.
In the early stages of the season, PDS head coach John Cook will be going with a rotation of predominantly two lines up front and two pairs of defensemen along the blue line.

Youth will be served this winter on the Stuart Country Day basketball team.
The Tartans' roster includes five freshmen and two of the newcomers, point guard Diamond Lewis and forward Alex Passano, will be in the starting lineup from day one.
While such an infusion of new blood would cause many a coach trepidation, Stuart head coach Tony Bowman relishes the challenge.
