BEYOND THE BUBBLE

Julia Wolfe GS ‘12, composer

By Sharon Xiang contributor

For Julia Wolfe GS ’12, composing music is more than just melodies, harmonies, and notes — it’s a mix of musical and nonmusical elements.

“In most pieces, I’m thinking about something extra-musical.

While I’m thinking about notes, rhythms, and harmonies, I’m also creating an image, a narrative in my mind,” Wolfe said.

Wolfe was named as one of the 23 winners of this year’s MacArthur Fellowship on Sept. 22.

The Fellowship is a prize awarded annually by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to between 20 and 30 U.S. citizens or residents who have shown “extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction” in any field, according to the award

website.

Wolfe had been interested in music for a long time, but it wasn’t until her freshman year of college that she really found herself immersed in music.

“I’ve always responded to music in a very deep way … I just had this very visceral and emotional response to music, so that’s what it was in the beginning,” she said.

She explained that in her freshman year, she accidentally walked into a musical composition class, in which she learned how to develop long compositions from shorter excerpts.

“I’d never done that before, and I really loved it because it was so challenging … and very exciting at the same time,” she added.

Wolfe said that for some pieces that cover a subject where there’s text, she gathers the See WOLFE page 3

New Dinky restaurant seeks to honor history

By Jisu Jeong contributor

The stone building that used to serve as the waiting room for the New Jersey Transit Princeton train station is now the Dinky Bar & Kitchen, which opened for full service in early August.

The establishment is a “welcoming and simple bar offering locally-sourced, ingredient-driven snacks, small plates and more,” according to its website.

The bar is owned by Fenwick Hospitality Group, which also runs Agricola, a restaurant located on Witherspoon Street. The building that houses the bar as been party of the Dinky train station for almost a century, from 1918 to 2013.

The station was moved 460 feet south from its original location to accommodate the University’s $330 million Arts and Transit Program. The announcement of the bar’s opening came last November, when University Director of Community and Regional Affairs Kristin Appelget said that a café and restaurant are scheduled to open in 2016 and 2017.

In light of the building’s historical significance, the DB&K seeks to incorporate some of the history into its experience, according to manager Adam Flocke.

“Literally everybody on the staff, just about, knows at least one or two historical facts and fun facts about it, that way if people ask,”

Flocke said. “It’s important to us to know the history, because a lot of people appreciate the building so much, that it’d be a disservice to the community and to the memory of the building to not at least have the staff know a little bit.”

He added that there is some historical information right at the front doors that customers can read while they’re looking around.

Some students who ate at the bar said that they felt this historical atmosphere, while others said that they did not really notice it.

“Our waitress was really knowledgeable, and she was telling us about how they renovated it, and what the See DINKY page 2

Student group seeks language affinity housing

By Samuel Oh contributor

The new Princeton Language Housing Initiative strives to create exclusively polyglot affinity housing on campus as soon as the next academic year. Led by Jacob Hamel ’18, the Language Housing Initiative hopes to house 15 to 20 people with proficiency in two or more languages within a sponsoring residential college.

Hamel noted that 15 members are currently working towards this goal.

He noted that, thanks to the discussions started last year about affinity spaces and the University’s new campus plan, he believes this is the perfect time for his initiative to expand and flourish.

“In my sophomore year, with the [Black Justice League] calling for Black-only housing, I believed that the University was willing to take affinity housing more seriously,” Hamel said. “Also, considering that the University has released its 30-year plan of expansion, my sense is that there is a lot of opportunity about what to do with that space, and the possibility for language dorms to expand into that space.”

Hamel said that precedents forged by other colleges act as inspiration for his housing initiative.

“When I was applying to schools – I was looking at Brown, Middlebury as well – those schools have programs like this [Language Housing See LANGUAGE page 2

The University Student Government discussed results from Friday’s Voter Registration Day event in their weekly meeting on Sunday.

The event was jointly organized by several campus groups, including Princeton Votes and the Whig-Cliosophic Society.

The groups set up various booths across campus where students could register as voters in New Jersey or their home state.

Overall, there were 102 new New Jersey voters and 85 absentee ballots recorded. These numbers are in addition to the registrations at a similar event Princeton Votes held at the Nassau Street Sampler earlier in the year. For an additional metric, USG president Aleksandra Czulak ’17 said that the Princeton Votes Snapchat filter received over 2300 views.

Campus and Community Affair Chair Michael Cox ’17 stated that Princeton Votes has historically served an important role in promoting voter awareness among students.

Czulak added that Princeton Votes will continue to host events promoting voter registration.

The USG is also attempting to collect data on current USG

members and applicants. Czulak explained that the demographic information to be collected would include race, major, and gender.

U-Councilor Lucas Ramos ’19 presented an update on the September meeting of the Council of the Princeton University Community. He stated that the meeting included various initiatives to promote diversity in the campus.

Ramos explained that the CPUC had created a special committee on naming, of which several USG representatives are members. The new committee will address the potential renaming of Wilson College, which has recently come under scrutiny for its namesake’s racist views.

“They are doing data research with the Wilson Legacy Project to see how to best rename the college without causing derision on campus,” said Ramos.

Along with the naming committee, Ramos described several upcoming changes to the Carl A. Fields Center, which currently supports affinity rooms for Black, Latinx, Asian/Asian American, and Arab/MiddleEastern students. The renovations will be conducted by Isometric Studio, a “visual identity and graphic design consultancy,”

according to its website, and will focus on expanding the affinity rooms and floor space on the second study.

The CPUC meeting also addressed the development of a more accessible Ph.D. pipeline, to be launched in the fall of 2018.

“It’s focused on general applicant pool diversity, because the current applicant pool is not very diverse,” said Ramos.

Additional initiatives mentioned by Ramos include the addition of 15 new courses on cultural identity and diversity, as well as the changing of Princeton’s informal motto to “Princeton in the nation’s service and the service of humanity.”

Czulak noted the lack of student attendance and participation in the meeting. She said that she hoped to see more non-councilors in the future.

“It is a really good opportunity for students to push administrators on issues and ask questions,” added USG vice president Jeremy Burton ’18.

Czulak also stated that the USG is hoping to distribute wellness information across campus.

The project would allow various student and University groups to collaborate and discuss what information would be important and how it would be shared.

different parts of the station that were still in it. I thought it was really cool — they had the menu backup on the little train station board,” Colin Yost ’19 said.

Lizzie Bird ’17 said that though she did not get the whole Dinky atmosphere, the DB&K felt like a “kind of small, but nice.”

Regarding the food and drinks, several students said they enjoyed their orders. They added that the

wait staff was very friendly.

Bird said that the cocktails had “really fancy” names.

“He [the waiter] was like the kind of waiter who talks to you even before you order what you’re getting and made jokes,” she added.

Despite their positive experiences, students said that they don’t imagine the DB&K becoming a regular meeting spot for students because of the prices there.

“If they wanted to have a little ‘let’s treat ourselves to something really nice’ … I’d recommend it,” said

Yost. “But I don’t see it as a place that’s a good collegepopular hangout.”

Next year, Fenwick Hospitality Group plans to open Cargot, a restaurant offering “approachable French food,” according to the DB&K website. Cargot will be housed in the larger stone building near the DB&K, which served as the cargo and baggage handling area in the past.

Initiative].” he said.

Hamel explained that Brown has one or two Spanish housing locations, where everyone has signed an agreement to speak Spanish when living in the dorm.

“That’s something that really appeals to me as someone who is really interested in languages but doesn’t have the time to take three language classes per semester,” Hamel added. “I figured that if Brown and Middlebury can, Princeton can as well.”

Jianing Zhao ’20 also noted the lack of foreign language friendly housing on campus.

“I came in very surprised to find that there are no language houses at Princeton, having previously attended summer programs at other universities with prestigious language departments, such as Middlebury,” Zhao said. “This is not to compare Princeton with other institutions, but with what it ought to be. Language housing is essential to foster a community of language lovers on campus, not in an ‘affiliation’ manner with any particular language, but to build an inclusive environment for polyglots to learn, to bond, and to grow.”

Hamel said he hopes that once the University gives him permission, he will be able to create language dorms modeled off the Pink House and the Edwards Artists Collective, existing living and learning

communities on campus.

“Those are the two models Princeton has so far, and the Language Housing Initiative is looking at both of those models for our own potential livinglearning community,” Hamel said. “[The Language Housing dorms] would probably be small, one or two stories, in a residential college, with 10 to 15 polyglots practicing with each other.”

The goal, Hamel added, is to expand to where there can be “individual dorms for different languages, ranging from Korean and Chinese dorms to Arabic, French, and German ones.”

He noted that the initiative currently is working “to receive recognition from the University to begin negotiations with residential colleges to move the initiative forward.”

Hamel said that support from the East Asian Studies Department, specifically from his former Japanese professors, has been a great impetus for him.

Japanese Language Program director Shinji Sato did not respond to requests for comment.

A proposal has yet to be submitted to the University for review.

In the wake of protests from the BJL last year, the University set up a task force to investigate the possibility of affinity housing like that of Hamel’s vision on campus. Currently, no policy exists for the creation of affinity housing.

Coal country inspired award-winning piece WOLFE

inspiration for the text from different sources and writes it herself.

“Those pieces are the much more longer term projects, so I’ll spend a good part of the year hunting and gathering and just reading and meeting with people and looking at things,” she explained.

One such piece that Wolfe has composed is Anthracite Fields, which premiered in 2014 and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2015. “[Anthracite Fields] takes life in Pennsylvania coal country and all the different parts of that. So it was really, really fun to expand into a different realm by looking and working with different archivists and museum people and gathering information and then making it into music,” Wolfe said.

Wolfe said that receiving the award was very exciting.

“They had trouble reaching me, because I saw this number call in about 20 times, but I didn’t recognize this number, so I didn’t pick up. It was quite common for me to not pick up my phone,” she said.

Instead, the foundation had to email her under some other pretense, claiming that it wanted to ask some questions.

“I thought … I was helping them get the information for someone else to get the award.

They wanted someone to comment or something like that,” she explained. “So when I finally did, I said, ‘sure, let’s talk’

… we finally found the time and it was ‘No, actually we’re calling to tell you that you won an award.’ I was taken aback, but excited at the same time.”

For those who have worked with Wolfe, the award was no surprise.

“Julia’s music is something really rare because she’s … a composer who speaks a very modern, contemporary, classical language. [For example,] Anthracite Fields … was really about both the hardships of the mining communities in central Pennsylvania near where she grew [up], but also about the kind of … lost culture that grew amid that hardship, so this is music that wasn’t kind of abstract, intellectual exercise,” WNYC radio host Jon Schaefer said.

He added that Anthracite Fields was rooted in the American experience, and the accessibility of her music allowed others who weren’t a part of the “little contemporary music circle” to listen and appreciate it.

All fellows are awarded a stipend of $625,000 over five years’ time. Wolfe said that she has no idea what she will do with the stipend.

“It’s more of a general idea than something specific, but just figuring out how to really take the time and space to develop a project or dream up something I’ve wanted to do and support that. I don’t know what that means, but, in general, it just means getting myself the freedom and time to think and breathe and write and create a new piece,” she said.

The Bachelor(ette): Elections 2016 Zeena Mubarak

senior columnist

vol. cxl

Do-Hyeong Myeong ’17 editor-in-chief

Daniel Kim ’17

I

, along with a significant chunk of Princeton’s student body, sat down to watch the first presidential debate in Richardson Auditorium last week. Watching the debate in this setting created a communal feeling. People reacted together, hissing and clapping as if on cue.

This started early on in the debate – the second Donald Trump walked on stage, what seemed like the entire auditorium burst into laughter. The same energy continued throughout; unlike the live audience, who were admonished not to react to the candidates, we registered our amusement, support, and contempt throughout the debate.

To some extent, it even seemed like the candidates themselves were mugging for just such a crowd, whether it was Clinton smirking and throwing out prepared hashtags, or Trump making faces and interrupting his opponent.

As I watched the debate, reacting just as noisily as everyone else, it dawned on me that we were watching the debate as entertainment. Despite the unfortunate fact that one of the two persons on stage will become our commander in chief, none of us were taking the process seriously.

Maybe this levity is a result of the fact that the Republican nominee is a reality TV star, or maybe it is because of the slow transformation of American news agencies into entertainment programs.

Maybe it is because we are a generation raised on news-comedy shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Maybe it is because of the internet and

next day listicles highlighting the candidates’ catchiest put-downs.

Personally, my own desire to see the debate as comedy stems from a combination of my horror at the despicable suggestions put forward by Trump and the awful realization that I’ll have to hold my nose and vote for Clinton, despite my strong dislike for her. Perhaps others are also distancing themselves from a two-party system that does not represent them by regarding the whole thing as a massive joke. Simply put, we wish it were.

Whatever the reason is for the transformation of the presidential debate into a particularly tense episode of The Bachelor, we must consider the potential effects of this method of approaching politics. In the first place, it must necessarily increase the divide between voters on either end of the spectrum. It encourages voters to laugh at the other side’s choice and to view him or her as a ludicrous option. Less directly, it encourages the candidates themselves to insult and mock their opponents, both on the debating stage and elsewhere, because firstly, they would like to play into their supporters’ expectations and secondly, they would like to be good entertainment. In fact, this debate was the most watched – ever.

This trend is absolutely dangerous.

If politicians think that the way to our hearts is to be more interesting or more entertaining, then they have less incentive to try to propose plans which are effective or at least internally coherent.

We must expect more from our politi-

cians than we do from our reality TV stars.

This election season, we have already seen what can happen when we do not take politicians seriously. Last year, as the primary season began, I, like many other Americans, enjoyed laughing at Donald Trump’s presumptuous run for president. With his ridiculousness and total lack of qualifications, he seemed like a harmless sideshow. However, so many laughs and so much derision later, he is one step away from the White House. The media fascination with him, which gave him so much free commercial time, undoubtedly helped him get to this point. Our desire to make fun of Trump obviously fueled his prominent position on our televisions.

From now on, let us try to do the impossible. Let us watch debates and speeches and try to extract meaning from the sea of catchphrases and bluster. Let us spend as much time as possible critically examining candidates’ plans. Let us take the initiative to examine different perspectives on their thoughts and platforms.

It is our future at stake.

here seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction on campus and beyond with the current presidential election season, in particular with the nominees of both major political parties.

Even the New York Times has opted to run columns from Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party candidate for president, as a way of presenting a fresh voice on politics.

A number of news outlets and political figures have declined to endorse anyone from either the Democratic or Republican Party in this election, opting instead to endorse third party candidates like Johnson or Jill Stein of the Green Party as a form of protest. While people might hold good intentions in endorsing candidates like Stein and Johnson, to do so is to ignore the fact that the two candidates are woefully ignorant of the issues facing our country and would set back the progress this country has made in the past few decades. Your protest vote is actually a waste of a vote and is wholly counterproductive.

There is a perception that the two major party candidates are “unprincipled,” whereas a candidate like Gary Johnson is “a principled candidate,” in the words of the Chicago Tribune. One of my hometown newspapers, the Detroit News, opted to buck a 143-year long tradition of endorsing Republican candidates for president to instead endorse Johnson, writing that that endorsement was one based on “con-

science.” But I ask, is it really “principled” to vote for candidates who know nothing about contemporary issues and are proud to live on the ideological fringes?

Gary Johnson, for his part, has demonstrated a total lack of competence on the political stage. When asked if there was a world leader he admired, perhaps the most softball of all softball questions, he failed to recall the name of a single person, calling it another “Aleppo moment,” in reference to a previous gaffe in which he did not recognize the city at the center of the Syrian civil war. Jill Stein also failed miserably in her response, snarkily tweeting out names of world leaders whom she admired (except that none of them actually lead a country).

It’s worth considering what it means to cast a protest vote rather than a vote for the two-party establishment. I can understand the frustration with our two-party system and the lack of choices. But once you cast a vote for a candidate, that means that you are endorsing the person and their package of policies. One might think that you are voting against and rejecting the two-party system, but a vote for the Green or Libertarian parties implicitly means that you are comfortable with a future in which those groups are able to bring their policy plans into fruition. Johnson rejects the federal income tax, gun control policy, and climate change policies. Stein isn’t any better and continues to peddle debunked conspiracy theories about links between autism and vaccines. Now, is that really a world you might want to live in?

The real danger is that the third party candidates are siphoning votes away from the two major party candidates, which could prevent either major party candidate from winning a clear majority in key battleground states. Recent public opinion polling has showed the Libertarian Party polling particularly well among people under 35 years old (millennials).

For instance, in Ohio, a key swing state, 22 percent of voters under 35 said that they would choose Johnson in the presidential election, perhaps a high water mark for a third party in opinion polling.

At the end of the day, your vote really does matter, and to cast it for a third party candidate like Stein or Johnson would only be wasteful and counterproductive. It may seem as if we’re bombarded everywhere with calls for us to vote, with many of those exhortations seemingly becoming mundane, but voting really is an important right in this country. It’s one of the few rights explicitly outlined in the amendments to the Constitution. Even the Daily Princetonian Editorial Board weighed in a few days ago on the topic, exhorting everyone to turn out and vote. On Election Day, don’t throw away your shot at choosing the leader of our country. It’s too important a choice to waste on someone like Stein or Johnson.

athletic ritual with an amazing 80-year history,” Lussi commented about the significance of the conference.

“Eight teams across all the [NCAA] Division 1 sports are inspired to rocket above their normal athletic capabilities with an intensity that is unmatched. [Coaches] Sean [Driscoll], Kelly [Boudreau], Mike [Poller], and Alison [Nabatoff] keep us urgently focused on the game in front of us. There is nothing else except our course work, food, recovery, sleep, and, on the day of the contest, the roar of the crowd!”

Lussi further explained her team’s commitment to achieving success this fall season both on and off the soccer pitch, “With Jesse a re-

turning captain and Vanessa [Gregoire], Nicole [Loncar], and me as the new captains, we have expanded our role beyond the traditional soccer-playing leadership, on and off the field,” Lussi stated. “Sean and Kelly, together with Mike and Alison, have provided us the opportunity to lead the culture change within Princeton women’s soccer to expect to win the Ivy League and successfully compete at the highest levels of the NCAA Tournament every year. The goal and practice of striving to be the best Division 1 women’s soccer team in the NCAA is a subset of the foundation and results that [Ford Family Director of Athletics] Mollie Marcoux and her team are striving to enable all Princeton student athletes and coaches to achieve, and women’s soccer is ‘ALL IN.’”

punishing drive that ended with Lovett in the end zone and Princeton up at half, 346.

In the third quarter, Princeton slowly but surely strangled any chance of a Columbia comeback. The Tiger defense forced three consecutive punts on the Lions’ three possessions of the period, while Kanoff and Lovett converted two of Princeton’s own offensive

possessions into scores that further extended their advantage. By the end of the third, the Tigers sat on a 48-6 lead and the game was all but over. Although Columbia would tack on one final score in throwaway time, they never built enough offensive cohesion to further challenge Princeton.

The Tigers showed poise and versatility on both sides of the ball, with their defense absolutely stif ling the Lions and giving up less than 300 total yards. Offensively, the Tigers showed

significant potential, with Kanoff throwing for three touchdowns and Lovett contributing to four more scores. It is to be hoped that this high-octane offense continues to show the balance between the running and passing game that served it so well in this contest.

Princeton will continue its season next Saturday as they take on non-conference foe Georgetown. They will resume Ivy League play when they face Brown at home on Oct. 15.

Princeton opens Ivy League season with win over Columbia 48-13

By Nolan Liu Associate Sports editor

Senior quarterback Chad Kanoff threw for 230 yards, junior quarterback John Lovett and senior running back Joe Rhattigan rushed for almost fifty yards apiece, and the Princeton Tigers (21, 1-0 Ivy) opened their Ivy League season in emphatic style by dismantling the Columbia Lions (0-3, 0-1 Ivy), 48-13.

Despite the final score, Columbia struck first to open the game. Lovett was picked off on the Tigers’ first drive, and the Lions marched back the other way for the score. However, Princeton would not trail for long. The Tigers put together a long drive midway through the first quarter, culminating in a Kanoff

pass to Rhattigan that tied the game, 6-6.

As the second quarter began, Princeton turned on the heat. Kanoff and Lovett alternated behind center, engineering a quick scoring drive that put the Tigers ahead 13-6 after their first possession of the period.

Princeton’s defense continued to stif le the Lions, and the offensive trio of Kanoff, Rhattigan, and Lovett was quick to find the end zone again to make it a 20-6 ball game. After a Columbia fumble on their next possession, Lovett fired a quick pass to Rhattigan for Princeton’s fourth unanswered score and a 21-point lead.

However, the Tigers weren’t finished yet, forcing another punt from the Lions and putting together yet another See FOOTBALL page 5

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Soccer tops Dartmouth in Ivy League home opener

By Miranda Hasty staff writer

STEPHEN CRAIG :: STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

After their win the Tigers move within two points from the top of the table.

The women’s soccer team topped Dartmouth, 2-0, in Saturday’s Ivy League home opener. The Tigers secured the game early in the game with goals from freshman forward Abby Givens and senior captain and forward Tyler Lussi.

Finishing a cross along the endline from Lussi, Givens knocked the ball into the back of the net from the penalty kick area in just the sixth minute of the match. Less than two minutes later was a free kick from the midfield from senior captain and midfielder Jesse McDonough that Lussi finished with a header

into the right corner.

Lussi’s goal, which sealed the victory for the Tigers, was the 52nd of her collegiate career, placing her in fourth for the most goals scored and in fifth for points accumulated in the Ivy League.

The captain ranks behind only Harvard’s Kelly Landry (68) and Sue St. Louis (66) and Brown’s Theresa Hirschauer (62), all of whom played in the 1980s, for career goals. With 120 points, Lussi trails only Landry (160), St. Louis (148), Hirschauer (131), and Penn’s Katy Cross (125).

Princeton now holds an overall 8-1-1 record for the season and 1-0-1 for the Ivy League. Following Saturday’s win, the Tigers are cur-

rently in third place in the league, with four points.

Harvard and Columbia, both 2-0, share the first place position.

The Tigers are scheduled to face Lehigh next on Tuesday night, then Brown on Saturday at 4 p.m. at Roberts Stadium for the third game of the Ivy League season.

Last Saturday’s Ivy League season opener against Yale ended in a disappointing tie, but the team’s resilience displays its deep-rooted motivation to perform at an unprecedented level for the Ivy League and to do so one game at a time.

WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Tigers sweep Harvard and Dartmouth at home, move 3-0 in Ivies

By David Xin Associate Sports Editor

In a complete reversal of last year’s 0-3 Ivy League conference start, the women’s volleyball team have won their last three games in the Ancient Eight. The two latest victories came against Harvard (3-9, 1-2 Ivy) and Dartmouth (6-7, 0-3 Ivy), both of whom fell to the Tigers in three sets.

While last year’s squad did eventually rebound from their initial losses and go on to claim the Ivy League title, the 3-0 start puts the Tigers at the top of the table and in position to claim back-to-back Ivy League championships.

The Princeton squad started Friday with their home opener.

Coming into the match with a five-game winning streak, the Tigers were confident and prepared to take on their Ivy rivals in front of a packed home crowd. And the Tigers did not disappoint, defeating Harvard handily, 3-0.

Throughout the match, the Tigers showed their offensive prowess, dominating all three sets: 25-20, 25-11, and 25-20. The

Princeton team managed to hit .333 for the match, a testament to the most efficient offense in the Ivy League. Furthermore, the Orange and Black proved to be particularly consistent, conceding only six errors in the final two sets.

This was the perfect payback against the Crimson, who defeated Princeton for a bid in the NCAA tournament last year.

The Tigers continued their dominant showing by sweeping Dartmouth the next day.

The Princeton squad won all three sets: 25-18, 25-16, and 25-19. Notable performances came from freshmen outside hitter Devon Peterkin, who registered a team-best 16 kills and 12 digs. Senior co-captain Cara Mattaliano also had a strong showing, contributing 14 kills and 12 digs to the win.

The win puts Princeton at first in the Ivy League alongside Columbia (8-5, 3-0 Ivy).

The two teams, both 3-0, will play this coming Friday for the top spot in the Ancient Eight.

This game also increases the Tiger’s winning streak to seven.

Last year, the Tigers defeated Columbia in both of their meetings, sweeping Columbia at home and beating the Lions, 3-1, to share the Ivy League title with Harvard.

However, Columbia carries a six-game winning streak into match with Princeton.

This includes three wins in the Ivy League conference against Cornell, Brown, and Yale. The Lions have shown that they are a formidable opponent at home and will be a tough opponent for the rising Princeton squad.

Following their match with Columbia, the Tigers will travel to Ithaca to face off against Cornell. The Big Red has struggled as of late, losing all three of their Ivy match-ups so far. Having swept Cornell in their previous two encounters, the Tigers will be looking to recreate their past successes against their Ivy rivals.

With a chance to take the top spot in the Ivy League, the weekend promises a series of exciting and crucial matches for the Princeton squad as they reach for another Ivy title and an NCAA bid.
