SET UP FOR SUCCESS: Princeton University women’s volleyball player Sydney Draper sets the ball in recent action. Last Saturday, sophomore star Draper tallied seven kills and 31 assists in a losing cause as top-seeded Princeton fell 3-0 (27-25, 25-23, 25-20) to second-seeded Yale in the final of the Ivy League Tournament at Dillon Gym. The Tigers ended the fall with a final record of 15-11 as they rebounded from a shaky 4-9 start. (Photo provided courtesy of Princeton Athletics)

Twice this year the Princeton University women’s volleyball team fell at home to Yale.
The second time came in the Tigers’ 3-0 loss (27-25, 25-23, 25-20) to the Bulldogs last Saturday at Dillon Gym and it hurt far worse than their 3-1 defeat back on October 5.
This time, it came in the Ivy League Tournament championship and the loss ended Princeton’s season that had come on so strongly down the stretch. more
