WILL TO WIN: Princeton University men’s hockey junior star Brett Wilson controls the puck in recent action. Wilson, a second-team All-Ivy League performer at forward, figures to be a key performer as second-seeded Princeton hosts No. 7 Yale this weekend in a best-of-three ECAC Hockey quarterfinal series. There are tickets remaining for the March 14 and 15 games and they can be purchased at the ticket office in Jadwin Gym. |
It was a rare sour note in the uplifting winter produced by the Princeton University men’s hockey team.
Last Wednesday night, Katie Lewis-Lamonica was sidelined by an injured right ankle as the Princeton University women’s lacrosse team cruised to an easy 16-8 win over Rutgers.
Despite the storm that hit the area Saturday, the senior star had the feeling that her ankle was not going to bother her as the seventh-ranked Tigers hosted No. 3 Duke.
There was a sense of excitement surrounding the Princeton University women’s swimming team as it looked forward to the 2007-08 season.
Feeling that the team had potential to do big things, longtime Princeton head coach Susan Teeter had T-shirts made for her athletes which read “On the Verge of Something Special.”
It was February 12 and a snowstorm snarled traffic around Princeton.
But inside the Princeton Day School gym, things were at a fever pitch as the PDS boy’s basketball team hosted cross-town rival Princeton High in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament.
Over the past year, the Princeton Elite Union Under-17 boys’ soccer team has proven itself against some of the best competition on the East Coast.
