TOUGH CHALLENGE: Princeton University field hockey star Erin Jennings, right, challenges a Yale player in Princeton’s recent 3-2 win over the Bulldogs. Senior co-captain and midfielder Jennings has helped hold the Tigers together as they have dealt with the absence of four All-American players who are taking a year off from school to play for the U.S. national program. After starting 2-4, Princeton is currently 5-6 overall and 2-1 in Ivy League action. Princeton heads to New England this weekend where it plays at Brown (3-8 overall, 0-3 Ivy) on October 15 and at No. 4 Connecticut (12-1) the next day.
