U. unveils new medallion Former U. president Bowen with updated motto GS ’58 dies

By Jessica Li News Editor

The University unveiled a new medallion on front campus on Oct. 22, its 270th charter day. The newly installed medallion reads the University’s updated informal motto — “In the nation’s service and service of humanity” — words spoken by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor ’76 during her acceptance speech for the 2014 Woodrow Wilson Award, the highest honor for undergraduate alumni, during Alumni Day. University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83, University Trustee and Chair of the Wilson Legacy Review Committee Brent Henry ’69, and President of the Alumni Association Jeff Wieser ’74 among other University ad-

ministrators and affiliates joined in the occasion on Saturday morning.

Eisgruber addressed a crowd of more than seventy administrators and alumni who attended the unveiling ceremony. In his remarks, Eisgruber described that the University’s original motto – “in the nation’s service and in the service of all nations” – recalls the ideals of global responsibility and leadership articulated by Woodrow Wilson, Class of 1879.

Yet, according to Eisgruber, Wilson’s reference to the nation was incomplete and exclusive.

Eisgruber further noted that in 1996, the University’s eighteenth president, Harold Shapiro GS ’64, also addressed the connotation of exclusivity in that phrase by rein-

terpreting Wilson’s idea and the University’s tradition to embrace service not only to this nation but to all nations.

“Today, we again revise the motto, this time to correct forms of partiality inherent in the very concept of nationhood,” Eisgruber said during the ceremony.

He further explained that the word “nation” comes from the Latin word for birth, which suggests a people tied together by blood, ethnicity, and culture.

Eisgruber also noted that the change of medallions is a part of the “vibrant evolution” of traditions that shapes the identity of the University.

Former University President William Bowen GS ’58 died on Thursday.

Bowen died of colon cancer. He was 83.

He became the University’s seventeenth president in 1972, succeeding Robert Goheen ’4 0, the president under whom Bowen had served as provost since 1967.

As president, Bowen oversaw a number of very important changes in the University’s history, including overseeing the expansion of the number of women in the student body after women were first admitted while he was provost; overseeing the establishment of residential colleges; and overseeing the establishment of alternative dining options for upperclassmen.

Bowen also supported the efforts of Sally Frank ’80 to force holdout eating clubs to admit women through litigation.

Bowen later recounted that he almost turned down the provostship, his spring-

board to his eventual presidency, due to the difference in opinion at the time between him and Goheen on the issue of coeducation — Bowen was in favor — but Goheen encouraged him to take it anyway, telling him that criticism improves the University.

Bowen said he applied Goheen’s approach to dissent even after coeducation was passed, giving ample opportunity to dissenters to voice their opinion and listening to their concerns instead of forcing unanimity. Later, despite his view that divestment was “too easy” compared to the work of effecting real change, he said he respected the dissent of a large number of students in the late 1980s calling for the University to divest from apartheid as the kind of dissent that is critical to the life of the University.

Bowen also oversaw the nascent Priorities Committee after he had helped to form it as provost, recalling See BOWEN page 3

ACADEMICS

Students petition to allow Barry to teach

By Abhiram Karrupur staff writer

Led by Ariana Mirzada ’18, a petition aiming to convince the University to allow Research Scholar Michael Barry ’70 to offer courses about Afghanistan and the near east through the Wilson School is being circulated among University students.

The petition notes that Barry’s classes were extremely popular, and that some of his lectures on YouTube garnered several thousand views in some cases. In addition, the petition notes that there is “tremendous interest from the student population” on the relationship between Afghanistan and the Western powers, and that Barry’s experience as a humanitarian aid worker in Afghanistan lends him a unique perspective to this issue.

Barry was a lecturer in the Department of Near Eastern Studies until

May of this year, when the NES department did not renew his contract.

University’s Liechtenstein Institute for Self-Determination then rehired him as a research scholar.

Since LISD is part of The Wilson School, Mirzada said that she wants the Wilson School to allow Barry to offer his class “Afghanistan and the Great Powers, 1747-2001.”

“This course is of vital importance, as Afghanistan often emerges as a key player in many encounters with the Great Powers throughout history,” Mirzada said. “Given the United States’ current involvement in the country, a class like this is in high demand but low supply, and as future leaders of the modern world we ought to take advantage of Dr. Barry’s expertise.”

The petition is addressed to Dean of the College Jill Dolan, Dean of the See PETITION page 3

LECTURE

USG discussed student Princeton groups, Thanksgiving buses Hindu Satsangam hosts event

By Jason Fu

contributor

The Undergraduate Student Government discussed the Thanksgiving bus project and new student groups in its meeting on Oct. 23.

Student Group Recognition Committee co-chairs Paul Yang ’17 and Julie Chong ’17 presented the new student organizations.

Overall, the SGRC recognized 11 groups, which include Princeton LP, a music appreciation publication, and the Student Athlete Entrepreneurship Club, which was created to offer athletes alternatives to the traditional consulting route.

Senate members raised concerns that several of the newly created groups occupy similar niches to other pre-existing student groups. For example, one senator questioned the recognition of the Student Athlete Entrepreneurship Club, stating that its purpose seemed too similar to that of the existing Entrepreneurship Club. Yang indicated that the Student Athlete Entrepreneurship Club was one of the more heavily vetted groups brought forth, and that it has already proven itself capable of running programming with a sizable amount of interest.

“While they could be similar, given the precedent that

athletes are often a disjoint group on campus, we felt that this group was put together well enough that we should approve it,” Yang said.

Commenting on the general concern of group redundancy, Yang stated, “What we’ve found is that most of the groups on campus are at capacity for their programming… Groups that are sufficiently distinct from existing groups work a lot better as new groups that cooperate with existing groups.”

U-Councilor Wendy Zhao ’19 and Class of 2019 Senator Andrew Ma ’19 presented updates for the senate’s Thanksgiving buses project.

The project aims to provide competitively-priced and convenient round-trip modes of transportation for students to return home for the Thanksgiving holiday. The bus routes will provide service to five cities: Hartford, Conn.; Newton, Mass.; Boston, Mass.; Washington, D.C.; and Baltimore, Md. They will depart from Princeton on Wednesday, Nov. 23 and return to Princeton from Boston and Washington, D.C., on Sunday, Nov. 27.

For students, the round-trip ticket prices are to be set at $70 to Boston and $60 to Washington, D.C. Ticket sales will most likely begin during the week fol-

About 30 students gathered in the Mathey Common Room on Friday evening for a “Dharma on the Street” event.

The event, which was part of a “Living Dharma Series” by the Princeton Hindu Satsangam, explored Hindu sacred texts and how they could help students approach the University’s social scene with integrity.

Students listened as Vineet Chander, coordinator for Hindu Life, talked about his experience as an undergraduate and used creative analogies to relate Hindu teachings to social activities.

He talked about how one must really think about what one is after in the social scene and asked students what they looked for when they went to the Street. Students responded that they were looking for things such as connection, relaxation, and a sense of community, among other things.

Chander explained that although students often think of themselves as the passive victims of their circumstances, it’s often that they themselves create their

versity, like those of our country and our Constitution, are living things. We do them no justice if we regard them as relics deserving of uncritical adulation, mindless obeisance, or ossified preservation,” Eisgruber said.

“We give those traditions their due — we honor them most faithfully — only if we cultivate them actively in light of the values and purposes at the heart of this great liberal arts University,” he continued.

The change of medallion in front campus came as part of a recommendation put forward by the Wilson Legacy Review Committee last April. The committee also called for the creation of a committee to examine campus

iconography.

These and other changes proposed by the Wilson Legacy Review Committee were a response to protests last November. During the sit-in protest, students asked the University to rename The Wilson School, the major, as well as Wilson College. Ultimately, the Wilson Legacy Review Committee recommended against removing the name but advocated for increased diversity initiatives.

The old medallion has gone into storage and there are no specific plans for it at this time, according to Assistant Vice President for Communications Daniel Day. The unveiling ceremony took place in Chancellor Green on Oct. 22, at 10:15 a.m.

Chander described the five ‘filters’ of experiences HINDU

experiences.

“What we bring to the table actually has a particular role in creating that experience,” he said.

He went on to compare consciousness to filters on Instagram, noting that these filters “shade and define… who we actually are.” He said that there are generally five “filters” that color how we experience things.

The lowest filter is Annamaya, or immediate gratification. He described this mindset as pleasureseeking and avoiding everything unpleasant. This could be analogous to drinking without limits and pacing or hooking up without concern for the consequences or others’ feelings.

The next filter is Pranamaya, or self-preservation. It is characterized by thinking more about your own feelings and how your actions might affect that. On the Street, this could mean pacing drinks or thinking about how hooking up might affect you in the future.

Under Pranamaya, “it’s still about getting what I want but now I’m going to be more strategic about it,” Chander said.

The third filter is Manomaya, or feelings and emotional intelligence. This might mean considering the inconvenience it might cause to others to care for you if you drink too much or considering the other person’s feelings before hooking up.

Next is Vijnanamaya, which is characterized by wisdom, observation, and discernment. It involves more planning and foresight. This might mean asking for friends’ help in monitoring your drinks or being more mindful of what might

happen down the line.

“Vijnanamaya can often be a lot about observing and not so much about doing,” according to Chander.

The highest filter is Anandamaya, which means having contentment and empathy. In this state, happiness comes from acceptance of the outside world.

Chander explained that contentment and empathy are very interlinked at this level. “When I’m truly content, then it opens up the door to empathy.”

To conclude his talk, Chander mentioned some practical takeaways.

One suggestion was to “get in the habit of pre-deciding things.”

This means thinking carefully about what you’re going to do in advance.

He also mentioned that the people you spend time with have an important impact on who you become. He emphasized the importance of being intentional in who you spend time with and making sure you have people you can be completely honest with and can trust.

After the talk, students had pizza and reflected on what they had learned.

“I think Vineet’s comments were very relatable and gave me something to think about. I think it will change how I approach social activities at Princeton,” Rik Nag ’19 said.

“It reminded me of how teachings in Hindu philosophy are flexible and versatile and can be applied to anything. I found it interesting how he didn’t tell us what the one right answer is,” Niranjan Shankar ’20 added.

The event, hosted by the Princeton Hindu Satsangam, was held at 8:00 p.m. on Oct. 21 in the Mathey Common Room.

Faculty Deborah Prentice, Wilson School Dean Cecilia Rouse and ViceDean Brandice Canes-Wrone ’93, and Wilson School Professor Wolfgang Danspeckgruber.

Elisabeth Donahue, the associate dean for Public Affairs and Communications at the Wilson School, said that Barry is free to propose courses, and that any proposal would be taken into consideration when planning offerings for next year. She noted that the list of offerings depends on what other Wilson School faculty propose and whether these courses are policy focused.

University Media Relations Specialist Min Pullan declined to comment.

The ‘Prince’ previously reported on the non-renewal of Barry’s contract in March.

Barry said that he is humbled and gratified that so many students want him to teach courses again, and that he has always responded to his students’ affection by offering courses of the highest quality. He noted that he would spend many hours personally coaching and advising students, and translating original sources by himself for his classes.

lowing fall break, Ma said.

Zhao said that, initially, tickets would be opened for only three buses, two to Washington, D.C. and one to Boston. She explained that if the three buses reached capacity, new buses would be added if the demand for a given bus exceeded 28 students.

The full prices of the five round-trip buses, which includes a 10% gratuity for the drivers, is the same as for last year’s buses, Zhao indicated. Ma stated that the project is not expected to result in a net loss of senate funds.

“We are projecting 90 percent full buses, and we recuperate exactly our amount spent at that point,” Ma said.

USG President Aleksandra Czulak ’17 also noted that, in the past, many students have recommended bus routes to additional cities. Ma responded, stating that they are in the process of implementing a student suggestion system, in which cities that exceed a certain number of votes would be added as a bus route. However, he added that he was unsure as to whether these changes could be added this year.

USG Vice President Jeremy Burton ’18 also introduced new Student Governance Office workers, who will manage the reception for the office during its open hours. The workers will assist in helping student organizations print marketing materials, answer inquiries, and manage the office suite.

Czulak also commented on the recent changes to the office.

The changes include an added lounge, free coffee and tea, and a student sign-in sheet. Czulak said that the aforementioned changes, as well as updates to the lounge due for completion over fall break, are designed to make the office a more welcoming space to students.

He explained that he would be interested in teaching a course on Afghanistan, as he has a personal moral and intellectual commitment to share Afghanistan’s modern history with his students. He added that many of his students have gone on to work in the Middle East as diplomats or humanitarian workers.

Barry noted that apart from Afghanistan, his teaching interests include Middle Eastern literature, art, philosophy, and mysticism. In particular, he is fascinated by the history and culture of the Iberian peninsula, especially the complex relations between the Muslims, Christians, and Jews that stem from the medieval period.

“My fascination for Iberian culture in the medieval period stems both from the utter and absolutely delightful impossibility there of still continuing hermetically to segregate in our present scholarship what is Muslim, Jewish, and Christian,” Barry said. “I therefore love to teach and share observations about medieval Iberia, its social struggles, and its schools of thought.”

He added that his experiences in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Morocco provide him with some insights into the world of medieval Iberia, and that he would enjoy sharing these insights with his students.

later that the 1970s were a time of financial difficulty for the University and that a “surgical” approach to determining the University’s priorities was needed, rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach to balancing the budget, which he eventually accomplished.

After his presidency, Bowen wrote a number of books, including the inf luential “The Shape of the River: Long-Term Consequences of Considering Race in College and University Admissions,” in which he argued for the value of affirmative action but took a more empirical approach than many previous accounts of affirmative action. He also served as president for a time of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Before becoming provost, Bowen became an assistant

professor in 1958, specializing in labor economics but also writing about a number of different topics, including the economics of education and of performing arts. He advanced to associate and then full professor before becoming provost and also served as the Director of Graduate Studies at the Wilson School from 1964-66.

Pequod reform

E

ach year, many Princeton students must make use of the services provided by Pequod Communications.

In addition to thesis binding for seniors, the store sells “course packets” that contain many, or all, of the readings and other written materials for a given course at the beginning of each semester. These course packets allow professors to avoid uploading each individual course reading onto E-Reserves and provide access to materials that cannot be uploaded to E-Reserves for copyright reasons. However, the packets are often expensive and create problems for students who are shopping classes. To remedy these and other issues, the Board suggests that professors minimize the cost of course packets by only including material that cannot legally be uploaded to E-Reserves and by creating addendum packets for newly introduced readings to facilitate packet resale in subsequent years. We also recommend that the University encourage Pequod to implement better buyback and return policies and to increase its hours during peak times.

Course packets can be very costly, exceeding $100 in some cases.

This is a burden for all students, particularly given the alreadysubstantial costs of textbooks and other supplies. One reason for this price is the size of the packets themselves. While Pequod packets should ideally include only readings that cannot be uploaded to E-Reserves (often due to copyright restrictions), many professors include all of the readings, even those that do not have copyright restrictions, in a packet. While this may be easier for professors, it makes the packet unnecessarily large and expensive. Instead, we urge professors to include in packets only those readings which cannot be uploaded to E-Reserves and make the rest available online. This will decrease the size and cost of the packets.

Uploading more readings to E-Reserves is particularly important before the conclusion of the add/drop period, which occurs a few weeks into each semester. Currently, as most or all readings are in the course packets, students are forced to purchase a packet before they are sure that they will continue in a course. Under Pequod’s return policy, students receive only a partial refund for returned packets or no refund at all if the packet has been written in. This policy unrealistically assumes students will not take notes or annotate readings for classes they are shopping. As a result, students who drop a course are essentially financially punished when returning packets to Pequod. On the other hand, if professors make

an effort before the add/drop deadline to assign readings without copyright restrictions that can be uploaded to E-Reserves, then students would be able to avoid the significant cost of purchasing a course packet until they have committed to their courses.

As years go by, professors may add new readings to their courses.

If the readings are supplied through a course packet, this means that previous editions of the course packet cannot be sold for reuse by current students in the same way that many students resell old textbooks. To remedy this, the Board suggests that Pequod print newly added readings (i.e., changes from the previous year’s course packet) in separate packets for a lower cost. This would allow students to purchase, at a presumably lower price, prior years’ packets from other students who have already taken the course. For any new readings, students can purchase the separate, smaller packet from Pequod. This change would benefit Pequod as well as it would allow it to implement a more generous buy-back policy, which in turn would allow them to resell old course packets.

Finally, the Board recommends extending Pequod’s hours of operation. Currently, the store is open only from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and not at all on weekends. These constrained hours can make it difficult for students to find time to go to Pequod, as they are often busy during the day with classes and other required events. Extending the store’s hours slightly longer into the evening and on the weekends — especially during high demand weeks such as the first weeks of each semester and thesis binding season — would alleviate this difficulty. Labyrinth Books, for example, similarly extends its hours during the beginning of each semester, which is very helpful in providing students more flexibility.

To encourage Pequod to adopt these new practices (extended hours and separate packets for newly added readings), the University can exercise its considerable bargaining power in negotiations with Pequod. We hope, though, that both Pequod and University professors will be quick to accept the Board’s suggestions because they will produce a more efficient and more affordable system for distributing course readings.

More co-ops now Iris Samuels columnist

J

oining a food cooperative has been one of my wisest decisions at Princeton. Since I’m only a sophomore, people react to my co-op membership with perplexed expressions. Why would I join a co-op while the University still requires me to purchase a meal plan? Here’s the answer: it has given me a sense of belonging that no dining hall could ever provide.

Being a member of Real Food Co-op, one of four food cooperatives on campus, means that I cook dinner once a week for all twenty-five members, a shift that lasts approximately three hours. In exchange, I get home-cooked meals every evening, accompanied by lively conversation with wonderful people who share my love of cooking. Pretty ideal.

I first heard about Princeton’s co-ops during my freshman OA trip from one of my leaders, a co-op member. It didn’t take long before I was convinced that I wanted to join one as well.

But I was in for a surprise. I quickly learned that co-ops, though far less competitive in nature, are in fact harder to get into than Princeton’s eating clubs.

Princeton’s four co-ops boast a total membership of about 140 students, which means that members make up only five percent of the upperclassmen population. For comparison, seventy percent of Princeton upperclassmen are in an eating club.

One might think that this is because Princeton students simply don’t want to join co-ops. After all, they can be demanding: not only do members have to cook their own food, but they also have to go grocery shopping and clean their own dishes! But it seems that many students are (shockingly) not deterred by the thought of conducting themselves as most functioning adults in our society do.

I recently discovered that 2-Dickinson, the only co-op located in its own house (all others are based in dorm kitchens) has more than 200 students on its waitlist. If the number itself isn’t shocking enough, consider this: students interested in joining a single co-op outnumber the students already in all four, combined.

One’s ability to get into a co-op depends, in part, on how early one joined a waitlist, and whether or not they have upperclassman friends who are already members. I have spoken to students who placed their name on 2D’s waitlist during the first days of freshman year, or who have strategically cultivated friendships with current members, hoping they would help them gain membership.

This hasn’t stopped the University’s administration from presenting the co-op option as an equally viable alternative to the ubiquitous eating clubs. Get a clue: it isn’t. If I want to shell out a few thousand dollars for a membership in one of the sign-in clubs, all I have to do is put my name on a list in the spring of my sophomore year. But if I want to pay less than a few hundred dollars a year for the opportunity to cook and clean up after myself, well, I better get in line.

I am not the first to point out this frustrating disparity between the two eating options. Last year, a petition circulated by email, calling on students to support the formation of another co-op.

Maybe, just maybe, the administration will hear

vol. cxl

this cry and establish another co-op sometime before the 2026 campus plan comes into fruition.

But we don’t need one more co-op: we need five more co-ops. And we needed them yesterday.

When I ask my fellow Real-Food members what motivated them to join, many answer “money.” Due to generous support from the Mathey College office, Real Food membership only costs $170 a semester, averaging less than $2 per meal. And lest you think that we end up eating beans and rice every day, I can assure that our meals are delicious and varied (if you’re curious, you can always come for a guest meal).

But the reasons for joining go far beyond finances — Real Food has become a source of joy and comfort in my daily routine. Every evening at 6:30 p.m., when I descend into the basement of Edwards Hall, I am greeted by friends who are eager to hear about my day and offer comfort and advice. If this sounds familiar, that’s because this is what a family feels like.

Food is important. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, food is the foundation. It’s no wonder, then, that food is a topic of so many discussions on this campus. But food should never be a source of so much stress, planning, and scheming.

The co-ops were conceived as a more inclusive way of eating together. They require no more money than the cost of groceries, and no traits other than a desire to cook. Given the University’s commitment to inclusivity, it is both surprising and saddening that it isn’t doing more to support this form of community building. If the University truly practiced what it preaches about inclusivity, it would actively support the co-ops as an alternative for those alienated by the eating club system.

This task wouldn’t be difficult to accomplish.

The University owns seven additional houses on Dickinson Street, University Place, and Edwards Place, all currently used as graduate housing. But since Princeton is dedicated to its undergraduate student body, as it so proudly announces at every available opportunity, I hope it will consider repurposing some of these houses as co-ops. Finding the students to fill these spaces with new flavors and friendships — that’s the easy part. I am certain that this offer would be met with enthusiasm from those who’ve placed their names on co-op waitlists.

Tonight, I will be having my usual meal in Real Food. But, scattered across campus, there will be students eating in dining halls, eating clubs, or alone — simply because there wasn’t enough room for them where they would truly belong.

Tigers stumble to third in Ivy League after loss FOOTBALL Continued from page 6

.............

As the game’s final minutes ticked down and a mighty Princeton drive fell just short with just over two minutes to play, it seemed that the Crimson would hold on to a seven-point win.

However, with 1:40 remaining in the game, senior wide receiver James Frusciante fielded a punt for more than 30 yards, giving the Tigers one final shot at tying the game. Sure enough, Lovett punched into the end zone a minute later, leveling the score at 17 and sending the game to overtime.

In extra time, the Tigers went on offense first. However, their efforts to find the end zone were unsuccessful, and Princeton had to settle for a field goal and hope that their defense could stand fast

against one more Harvard drive.

However, it was not to be.

The Crimson ground out a brutal 12-play sequence, and finally punched the ball into the end zone for the score and 23-20 victory.

Despite the disappointing finish, the Tigers showed great poise and potential over the course of the game.

The defense snagged three interceptions and forced two fumbles, while the Princeton attack managed 151 yards through the air and 172 on the ground.

In analyzing the finish, Princeton head coach Bob Surace ‘90 expressed disappointment at the final result, but ultimately pointed to the Tigers’ outstanding statistical performance as a bright spot to build on.

“I thought we were balanced,” he said. “[And] I thought that’s important for us.”

Princeton had more yards and won the turnover battle, but Harvard took the day in a heartbreaking 23-20 overtime victory over the Tigers to stay atop the Ivy League.

Both teams entered the day unbeaten and with high expectations: the Tigers (4-2, 2-1 Ivy) were seeking to break the tie for first place in-conference by beating Harvard (5-1, 3-0 Ivy) for the first time since 2013.

Once the game began, however, it seemed to be all Harvard. The Crimson defense absolutely shut down the Tigers to start the game, allowing no touchdowns over the first half. Although Harvard failed to put up explosive offensive numbers of their own, they still managed a score just over five minutes into the first quarter. However, Princeton managed to frustrate the Crimson attack throughout

the game’s second period, allowing only one more touchdown to begin the second quarter and holding the visitors to a 14-0 advantage.

In the second half, it would be Princeton’s turn.

The Tigers finally found a way past Harvard’s defense, putting together a long 80-yard drive midway through the third quarter that culminated in a 1-yard touchdown run from junior quarterback John Lovett. The Princeton defense stood firm, preventing any response from the Crimson, and freshman kicker Tavish Rice cut the Harvard lead to four with a field goal to end the third quarter.

The game returned to deadlock as the final period commenced, with neither team making any headway over the first nine minutes of the fourth. However, with only six to play, the Crimson finally managed a field goal to extend their lead, Harvard 17, Princeton 10. See FOOTBALL page 5

Princeton field hockey was beat by Harvard in overtime, 3-2. The Tigers started slowly in the first half and saw a sequence of shots on corners, which were blocked by freshman goalkeeper Grace Baylis.

However, by the 13 minute mark, the Orange and Black were down one as the Crimson’s Marissa Balleza touched in a pass from her teammate.

The Tigers saw their best opportunity of the half from freshman midfielder Taylor Nolan, who found space in the circle, but shot wide of the goal. Several minutes later, Harvard pushed the ball past

Baylis from a mishit in the circle; the goal stood, and the Crimson doubled their lead.

The Tigers came out far stronger in the second half.

Sophomore midfielder Jane Donio-Enscoe dribbled along the left side line and slipped a pass to senior captain Cat Caro.

She slapped the ball on goal, and last year’s Rookie of the Year, sophomore striker Sophia Tornetta, managed to reach her stick out to knock it past the Harvard goalkeeper.

As the Tigers piled on the pressure for the Crimson, the games started to become emotional, with both sides trying desperately not to slip up.

With six minutes on the

clock, Caro deflected the ball from a short corner hit by freshman midfielder Maddie Bacskai and Princeton equaled the score line.

The final six minutes remained rather frantic, with neither side managing to get a shot on target. The game headed to overtime.

Just one minute into overtime, Harvard’s Kathleen Young beat the Princeton defence down the right baseline to face Baylis in a 2-on-1 advantage. Young calmly pushed the ball past Baylis on her near post as Baylis went to go down early to try and intercept a ball across the face of goal.

The Princeton Women’s soccer team (9-4-1, 1-3-1 Ivy) faced a tough loss against Harvard (8-3-3, 3-0-2 Ivy) this past weekend at Homecoming in Roberts Stadium.

While the weather was cold and rainy, the Tigers stayed strong throughout the entire match.

Senior forward and team captain Tyler Lussi commented, “The game was pretty well attended despite the raining, blowing weather. Garfield and his team always have the field in perfect condition and although it was wet, it was wet and slippery for both teams.”

With an early goal right off the bat, Saturday’s win extended Harvard’s winning streak to nine games.

Only three minutes into

the game, Crimson senior Karly Zlatic put Harvard on the board. Miscommunication by the Tigers led to a failed attempt to bounce the ball back to goal, which resulted in a header for Zlatic from 12 yards, where she was able to put the ball across the goal line.

The Orange and Black was unable to make a turnaround, especially given that fact that the Crimson’s defense has had an extremely successful season, tallying their sixth shutout of the year.

However, despite the homecoming weekend lost, the team is still in good spirits.

Lussi remarked, “Although this may sound strange, I believe it was our best loss this year. We only had one miscommunication against a team that has the capacity to and did punish us for each mistake.”

Tweet of the Day

The Tigers also managed to out-shoot the Crimson in the second period, 7-1.

Princeton has won the shot total in its last five games, but has only been victorious in two of them.

Coming up on Tuesday, the team will return to Roberts Stadium to battle against Bucknell University (13-1-1, 7-1-0 Patriot League).

To improve from Saturday, Lussi noted, “After speaking to the forwards and midfielders, I’m going to ask Garfield to take the clear plexiglass shield he has over the front of the goal off so some of our shots will go in on Tuesday night. Sometimes the ball does not want to find the back of the net so you have to keeping shooting until it does.”

The 7 p.m. game will be the team’s final non-conference match of the season.
