Rush numbers may increase By Elizabeth Paul staff writer
The Class of 2016 will get its first chance to rush fraternities and sororities next month, as the first class to do so under the administration’s ban on freshman participation in Greek activities. Presidents of Greek organizations say the ban has had a noticeable impact on this year’s class of pledges, increasing students’ interest in Greek life and attracting a more dedicated rushsavvy class of recruits. Sorority recruitment will begin on Monday, Sept. 30 and conclude on Friday, Oct. 4, according to the Kappa Alpha Theta website. All three of Princeton’s Panhellenic sororities — Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Pi Beta Phi — will be open to recruitment of sophomores, juniors and seniors. Recruitment schedules for the campus’s 11 fraternities vary, but generally run for a longer portion of the semester than do sorority recruitments. For example, Phi Delta Theta recruitment begins during freshman week and concludes in midOctober, according to president Alex Pouschine ’15. Freshmen are prohibited from rushing Greek organizations or participating in fraternity- and sororityaffiliated events due to a See GREEK page 4

University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 and Chair of the Board of Trustees Katie Hall ’80 both spoke at the installation.
20th U. president installed By Teddy Schleifer senior writer
As Kathryn Hall ’80 stepped forward to deliver the opening remarks for the installation of Christopher Eisgruber ’83, the man of the hour grabbed her arm and pointed at a chair. Should he remain standing as she spoke or sit in the outsized wooden throne on the Nassau Hall stage, Eisgruber seemed to ask, as 1,200 audience members laughed. Hall, the chair of the Board of Trustees, motioned for him to sit. The 20th University president slid into his chair. By the end of the hour-long ceremony, Eisgruber’s role at the
University was clear. In a ceremony rich with pomp and Princeton tradition, Eisgruber was inaugurated as the University’s new president on a quintessentially fall Sunday afternoon. Sharing the stage with the University’s Board of Trustees, faculty, administrators and living former presidents, Eisgruber was installed in the formal culmination of a presidential turnover that began exactly a year ago Sunday when Shirley Tilghman announced her plan to retire. Before a sprawling audience on the front lawn of Nassau Hall, Eisgruber defended the liberal arts education as an institution that helps steer students away from their imperfections. Draw-

Hall, including the great James Madison, have wanted teachers to fire their imaginations, dispel their misconceptions, explode their prejudices, stir their spirits and guide their passions.” The liberal arts education, Eisgruber said, is under attack because humans are not perfectly rational creatures who think in the long-term. Eisgruber portrayed higher education as an expensive commitment with a future payoff that makes the investment worth it. “Great colleges and universities are not cheap. They require big investments, and they are also among the best investments that this nation, or any nation, can See CEREMONY page 3

Harvard launches funding campaign
Harvard announced on Saturday its first major fundraising campaign in over a decade. With a $6.5 billion target, the push is believed to be the largest campaign ever by a university, according to Reuters. According to the university, roughly 45 percent of the funds will go toward teaching and research, a quarter will be allotted to financial aid and student life, 20 percent to building projects and 10 percent to f lexible funding. Specific goals include expansions of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and upgrades to residential buildings. The campaign has already collected pledges of $2.8 billion from 90,000 donors. Fundraising was officially launched on Saturday and included a speech by former Harvard student Bill Gates. Harvard’s last fundraising campaign, which concluded in 1999, raised $2.6 billion. In 2009, after Harvard saw a 27.3 percent fall in its endowment, the university postponed construction of a $1 billion science complex. The university’s 2012 endowment recovered to $30.7 billion. Harvard’s fundraising efforts come on the heels of Stanford’s $6.2 billion effort last year and Princeton’s five-year Aspire Campaign, which concluded with $1.88 billion raised in June 2012.

ing on James Madison’s writing in the Federalist Papers that “if men were angels, no government would be necessary,” the constitutional law professor argued for 18 minutes that the liberal arts and its educators mold people’s talents. Constitutional law and the liberal arts education, which Eisgruber described as his life’s “enduring inspiration[s],” help correct human nature’s flaws, he said. Because people are not angels, Eisgruber explained, they need the liberal arts just like they need laws. “If people were angels, they would have no need for teachers,” he said. “The generations of students who have come to Nassau

Peretsman-Scully Hall will house psychology and neuroscience offices, laboratories and classes.
Psychology building to open this year By Greta Shum staff writer
Construction of the University’s new neuroscience and psychology complex, Peretsman-Scully Hall, is slated to be completed by Nov. 1, with the two programs moving their offices there in mid-December. Classes and labs will be held in the new complex beginning next semester. The complex is the culmination of former President Shirley Tilghman’s initiatives to expand the University’s study of neuroscience, which began with the creation of the Princeton Neuroscience Institute in 2005. Construction of the complex began in spring 2010. The buildings are located on the east end of Poe Field, just south of the Carl Icahn Laboratory, which will also house some neuroscience labs. The
psychology building stands tallest with five stories above ground, while the separate PNI building rises two stories above ground. “If you happen to walk the building outside or inside, it’s in very good shape,” Ahmed Sultan, the project manager of Princeton’s architecture team, said. He added that he felt seeing the building from the design stage to completion has been very rewarding. Jose Rafael Moneo Valles Arquitecto, a Madrid-based architecture firm, designed the 248,000-square foot complex. Moneo has been involved throughout the process, providing insight over the course of the three-year construction. Ron McCoy and the University architectural team have been part of the team on the ground overseeing the construction. The complex’s sustainable
features include a daylight harvesting system as well as a storm- and rainwater harvesting system. In addition, a large cistern underground collects non-potable water. Its high-performance glass and chilled beam system keep the building cool and mirror Frick Laboratory, its neighbor across Washington Road. Smaller finishing material features were used, such as low Volatile Organic Chemical paint and carpeting. Sultan said he worked every step of the way with Mark Wilson, the University’s manager of design and construction, fostering collaboration between architects and landscape architects on all aspects of the design. “The building is part of the landscape, and the landscape is part of the building. It turned See FACILITY page 3
The USG voted unanimously to appoint Mariana Bagneris ’15 as the new Class of 2015 senator at the first meeting of the year Sunday evening. Bagneris will fill the Class of 2015 senate seat that was vacated by Deana Davoudiasl, who stepped down from the position in order to take the semester off. After USG president Shawon Jackson ’15 sent an email to the Class of 2015 last Monday advertising the opening, nine students applied for the position, he said. Of the nine students, six were chosen to be interviewed. Bagneris was nominated by Jackson and Class of 2015 president Jon Ma, and she was confirmed by the
senate. In the November 2012 election, three members of the Class of 2015 ran for the two positions of Class of 2015 senator. In addition to Bagneris’ appointment, chief elections manager Rachel Nam ’15 announced that 36 freshmen attended an open house in order to learn more about running for 2017 Class Council. Registration for students who want to run for one of the five council positions ends on Tuesday. USG treasurer Christina Yu ’14 introduced the general budget for the 2013-14 academic year, which includes $182,229.44 for the fall budget and $171,470.56 for the spring budget. The fall budget allots $6,163.19 more than last year’s, according See 2015 page 4

Friends, colleagues react By Teddy Schleifer senior writer
I think that speaks also to Chris’ great humility.”
The reception on Alexander Beach after Sunday’s installation served as an opportunity for Eisgruber’s fellow administrators, faculty members and personal friends to connect and trade stories about the new University president. Here’s what people thought of the new president’s inaugural speech.
John Carr ’83:
Rush Holt, Congressman:
“I thought his point about the better angels of our nature — the famous Madison quote in Federalist 51 — got at something extremely important. It isn’t the content; it’s the relationship between student and teacher that as a parent makes you do it. We are not all so self-motivated.”
“The speech in fact today dealt in part, I’m pleased to see, with maintaining excellent education in America, and not falling victim to fads, to excessive commercialization or commoditization.” “I think he will be a spokesperson for higher education and education in America — and a very good one.” Ron McCoy, University architect:
“He’s our classmate. ’83 supports its own.” Anne-Marie Slaughter ’80, former Wilson School dean: “I would never miss this, and it was a spectacular speech.”
“[The trustees] need a great constitutional advocate, and they have one.” Jay Freedman, moved to Princeton three months ago:
“I think it was just refreshing to hear everybody talk about the commitment to the values of the liberal arts education.”
“I just took a walk downtown, saw what was going on, listened to the speech — which was fabulous — went back to the car and fed the meter.”
“It’s a good reminder, a good renewal of what the University’s dedicated to.”
“It’s a beautiful day. It’s nice to see a bunch of people doing something nice.”
Mark McConnell, math professor, in response to psychology professor and department chair Deborah Prentice’s speech, which compared the relationship between faculty and administrators to the relationship between cats and cat-herders:
Janet Rapelye, dean of admission:
“I hope if someone herds me, I’ll be a well-herded cat. We work together, we have a common vision; we’ll do good things that way.” Janice Stulz Roddenbery, former head of Graduate Alumni Association: “I was looking at him today, and I was remembering this young faculty member who used to come to meetings in cords and a green sweater and an oxford shirt, and we used to sit together, and he was always so humble and engaging and kind.” “He quoted James Madison in talking about angels. I think it’s very important for us to realize that we’re human beings, but we are fragile.
“I thought it was a shining moment for Princeton. All of the speeches reminded us of why the liberal arts and why the liberal arts education is so important today — and as important as it was 250 years ago. To hear it articulated so clearly and confidently was inspiring.” “I actually just found today affirming about what we do and how we do it. I think Princeton does this education so very well, and today really showed all of us and was a statement, I think, to the whole world that this is what we do and we take it really seriously.” Christina Paxson, Brown president and former Wilson School dean: “Princeton’s a really special place, and I’m just so thrilled that Chris is the president. He’s an old friend and dear friend. A lot of things that were discussed on the stage
today — especially by Hunter Rawlings and also by President Eisgruber — are concerned with the values of a liberal education and the need for great research universities. These are issues that all of us are dealing with and thinking about and talking about. So it’s nice to have this kind of president solidarity.” “Everybody’s going to feel good coming out of this event today. No surprises, no controversies — just a really nice day.” Paul Raeder, works in Annual Giving: “He did a great job. I’ve heard Chris speak a lot, and I think this is about the best thing he’s done.” Clayton Marsh ’85, deputy dean of college and presidential search committee member: “It’s just a wonderful culmination of a process that worked beautifully.” “I loved the comparison between constitutionalism and liberal arts education as longterm, far-sighted endeavors.” Gideon Rosen, philosophy professor and member of presidential search committee:
“I find it very moving to see the value of the University reaffirmed so completely convincingly in so many different ways by every constituency in the University. These are occasions where people stand up and ref lect for a little bit on why this thing we spend our lives doing matters. Sometimes what comes out is boilerplate, but sometimes what comes out is fresh and shows that somebody’s actually taken a second to step back and really think about why this matters.” “There’s always some anxiety in the back of your mind about whether you’re doing the right thing — it wasn’t particularly serious anxiety in my case — but it’s completely clear, when you hear Chris Eisgruber stepping into the role publicly for the first time, that he’s obviously the right guy for the job. It’s impossible to doubt that having heard him talk today.” Jeffrey Tulis, Eisgruber’s former professor at Princeton: “He’s had the ability to translate very smart insights into a kind of rhetoric that serves the institution very well. It’s not the same thing as an academic argument.”

make,” he said. Eisgruber also signaled that he would take this advocacy beyond the University he leads and participate in the public debate about the liberal arts. He called on the University to play a leadership role in these discussions and said that the school has an “obligation and opportunity” to lead beyond the private school’s walls. Tradition, which provides short-term energy, Eisgruber said, can preserve the liberal arts in the long-term. The University does that well, he noted. Tradition was laced through the event, which dates back to the 1748 installation of Aaron Burr, Sr., when he spoke for 45 minutes in Latin from memory. Though the University’s charter does not require the ceremony, the installation offers the University president an opportunity to make an inaugural address and retake the oath of office, which was administered by Hall. Tilghman stood a step behind him and smiled as her successor promised to uphold the values and duties of the Constitu-
tion, the state of New Jersey and Princeton University. Members of the University community wore the academic gowns usually seen at Opening Exercises and Commencement. The procession took faculty, administrators and trustees to about 50 seats placed on a boarded-up stage set up in front of Nassau Hall over the past week. Several individuals close to Eisgruber came from outside Princeton to witness his elevation to the presidency. Dozens of members of Eisgruber’s Class of 1983 — including his three senior-year roommates — came in class jackets, cheering whenever their class was mentioned. Eisgruber’s wife, Lori Martin, and teenage son Danny watched from the front row. Christina Paxson, the former dean of the Wilson School who is now president of Brown, and Amy Gutmann, the president of Penn and Eisgruber’s predecessor as University provost, attended the installation. Congressman Rush Holt, who represents the University area, and Anne-Marie Slaughter ’80, a former Wilson School dean who was suspected to be the runner-up to Eisgruber in the
presidential search, also attended. In between Eisgruber’s hesitation to sit in his seat and his inaugural address, Eisgruber was praised — often with humor — by student, faculty, staff and alumni representatives. Psychology department chair Deborah Prentice, who is heavily involved in University governance, compared the relationship between the faculty and administration to one between “cats” and “cat-herders” and encouraged both sides to work together. University Counsel Sankar Suryanarayan explained how Eisgruber has always held the University staff accountable and demanded high results. Alumni Association president Nancy Newman ’78 explained her excitement that a University alumnus — “brother Chris” — now led the institution. In longer remarks, Association of American Universities president Hunter Rawlings GS ’70 criticized education reforms that place too much emphasis on metrics. After Rawlings’ words, Eisgruber took the oath, gave his speech and bid three cheers for Old Nassau.

out to be really beautiful,” Sultan said. At the southwest end of the complex, between the PNI building and Plummer Field, a sidewalk lined with young trees and a steep hill with budding foliage envelop the frost-
ed and sleek glass segments. While the departments are physically divided, there are a number of shared spaces, including lounges and classrooms that will be shared between the two. “I’m very excited to be taking classes there,” Daniel Xu ’14, a molecular biology major who is pursuing the neuroscience certificate, said.
Kevin McKee ’14, a psychology major who is pursuing a neuroscience certificate and will work on his thesis and take classes in the new building, emphasized the significance of the physical bridge between the two departments. “It’s definitely symbolic of the connection, and the fact that the two departments will be moving together is great.”

In his inaugural address, Eisgruber said liberal arts education steers students away from imperfections.
News & Notes Colleges may continue to pay international recruiters on commission
the national Association for College Admission Counseling approved a new set of guidelines under which U.S. colleges may pay recruiters of international students, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Saturday. The announcement marks a stark departure from the association’s previous position on the question. Earlier this year, a commission established by NACAC recommended banning commission pay for foreign recruitment entirely. The guidelines, which are in place for institutions worldwide, state that colleges may not offer commis-
sion pay for recruiters of U.S. students. The guidelines will take effect after one year. Meanwhile, NACAC is considering another amendment that would set guidelines for how foreign institutions pay their agents who recruit U.S. students. P rofessor at t acke d i n possible h ate cr i me columbia university professor Prabhjot Singh was assaulted Saturday night, Reuters reported. The New York Police Department is investigating the attack as a possible hate crime, The Huffington Post reported. Singh, a Sikh, has a beard and wears a turban. His assailants allegedly called
him “Osama” and “terrorist” while knocking him to the ground and punching him in the face. An assistant professor of public and international affairs, Singh wrote an op-ed published in The New York Times in August 2012 calling for further study of hate crimes against Sikhs. In response to the attack, the New York chapter of the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations called on religious and state leaders to make public statements against bias-motivated crimes. A Muslim woman was allegedly assaulted and called a “terrorist” at a Times Square rally the next day. The incident was captured on video.

“You restrict a thing for a whole year, and people become curious.” Cuauhtemoc Ocampo ’14 former sigma chi president
Cuauhtemoc Ocampo ’14, former Sigma Chi president, said the group of sophomores rushing Sigma Chi this year was larger than the total number of students who rushed in previous years, “about two to two-and-a-half times as big as before.” Nevertheless, Ocampo declined to specify the SHANNON MCGUE :: SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER

CORRECTION Due to a reporting error, the Sept. 20 football schedule preview incorrectly stated that Princeton had beaten Lafayette in the 2010 and 2011 seasons. Princeton and Lafayette did not play each other in 2011. Due to a reporting error, the Sept. 20 article “Research seminars replace some task forces in WWS” misidentified the leaders of the 2010-11 Wilson School steering committee. It was led by former Princeton University President Harold Shapiro and Professor Nolan McCarty, acting under mandate from Wilson School Dean Christina Paxson. The ‘Prince’ regrets the errors.
number of students rushing. Ocampo attributed this rise in sophomore interest to the way that Greek life was made off-limits to freshmen, becoming “a forbidden fruit kind of thing.” “You restrict a thing for a whole year, and people become curious,” Ocampo said. “They want to know what this organization is about, and so they come in large numbers.” Pouschine added that the publicity of the freshmanrush ban had benefitted fraternities, which he said used to be “tucked in the shadows.” “There’s this huge spotlight put on it,” Pouschine said, in reference to the ban’s effect on Phi Delta. “It’s brought a good amount of free advertising to us.” He added he did not see any reason why recruitment numbers would f luctuate significantly. Some presidents have also noted a change in the composition of the sophomore rush group from previous years. Current Kappa Alpha president William Hicks ’15 noted that this year’s class of recruits has been choosing to rush based on friendships and associations made through campus organizations. Hicks explained he’s seen “more groups of friends doing fraternities, rather than fraternities causing people to become friends.”
However, Hicks noted this trend may have the effect of discouraging recruits from “getting to know people outside of their corner of campus, whether an a cappella group or a club sports team.” Hicks said while he felt the freshman rush ban was “almost unilaterally meant to weaken fraternities’ presence on campus,” it also allowed him to get to “know kids better” before rush begins. “In a perfect world, rush would be second semester freshman year,” Hicks stated, saying it would provide freshmen with valuable social connections but minimize the blow to fraternities. Pouschine also noted a difference in the commitment level of this year’s rush class. “I suspect people have heard from their friends in above classes about fraternities,” he said. In previous years, freshmen would rush in order to explore Greek life, he explained, but this year’s rush group is “much more self-selective.” Kappa president Kellen Heniford ’14 declined to comment about the size of the recruitment class but expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming sophomore rush. “Kappa is very excited about what is shaping up to be a wonderful group of girls,” Heniford said.

to the meeting agenda. “Nothing here is set in stone,” Yu said of the budget, which includes $36,010.72 for general funds, $76,364.76 for the social committee and $35,000 for the projects board. The USG voted to replace the funding for Cane Spree, which the USG is not paying for this year, with funding for the Helios voting system, which was left out of the budget. The USG also voted to move the $4,000 allotted to Tiger Universe to the general funds. A proposal to instate a mattress rental system, in which students would be
able to rent a mattress at the USG office for $2 per night, was also discussed at the meeting.
“I think, actually, we should talk to McCosh.” Thomas Dunne deputy dean of undergraduate students
Several members of the USG expressed concerns about the sanitary ramifications of circulating mat-
tresses around campus if students are not properly cleaning them. There was also a concern that the USG could be held accountable if a disease like Methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is contracted after a student uses the mattress. “I think, actually, we should talk to McCosh [Health Center]. A disclaimer or waiver is not going to help us,” Deputy Dean of Undergraduate Students Thomas Dunne said. “If we could talk to the staff at McCosh about what the implications are specifically, we could figure out the viability for that.” According to Class of 2016 senator Eduardo Lima, who is the project leader, the USG will purchase five mattresses by the end of the month.

goal when the halftime buzzer sounded — proved too much for the Orange and Black to overcome. The 7-4 shot advantage for the Tigers in the second half was not enough. Toward the end of the first period, Princeton managed to find some offensive rhythm, which it carried forward into the next half. Donovan earned her team’s first penalty corner with two-and-a-half minutes left in the first. Benvenuti, the offensive hero of the previous game, fired a shot deflected over the goal by a Syracuse defender. With just 15 minutes left in the contest, Syracuse goalkeeper Jess Jecko was called upon to make her first save off a shot
from Caro. Princeton could not convert off the deflection, with Jecko and her back line consistently smothering the Tigers’ offense. “Losses are always hard, but they definitely teach you things,” Evans explained. “You’re not going to be perfect all the time. We can definitely learn a lot from this. A few things we’re going to be working on in the future is having fewer turnovers and [being] a little bit better connecting from line to line.” Recent history has seen Syracuse dominate at home: Sunday’s win marked its 39th consecutive victory at Coyne Stadium. The last defeat the Orange suffered there was at the hands of Princeton in 2009. The Tigers’ next game is Friday, when they will host rival Yale at Bedford Field.

freshman utility Jovan Jeremic added three each. Hoffenberg also led the team with three assists. Senior goalie Ben Dearborn had 14 saves over three periods, and sophomore Alex Gow added three in his eight minutes. Nicolao, in his 16th year as head coach at Princeton, has now earned 302 victories with only 133 losses with the men’s program. He also coaches the women’s program, which has done even better during his tenure, going 348-128. After earning his 300th win, he prepared to take on his old school, Navy (8-9), where he was a three-time All-America selection and the all-time leading scorer in Midshipmen history.
Princeton took care of Johns Hopkins in 2013 as it did twice in 2012, but Navy was another story — the Tigers went 1-2 against the Midshipmen last year. This year, however, the Tigers had no problem dis-

in the next frame, cementing its lead with four goals in the third and adding five to Navy’s three in the final period. Hoffenberg led the team in goals and assists with four and three, respectively. Sophomore Tommy Nelson had three goals, and Jeremic had two. Gow had nine saves, earning a complete game win after sharing time with Dearborn against Hopkins. The Tigers traveled an hour down the Baltimore-Washington Parkway for Sunday’s finale against George Washington (8-2), whom they beat twice last year. History repeated itself, as they outscored the Colonials 5-3 in the first and held them to just two more goals for the rest of the game. Jeremic and Nelson had three goals each, while Hoffenberg added two. Gow had 10 saves
and Dearborn had five as the two combined for Princeton’s best defensive effort of the season. After gliding through the first portion of its season, which saw it dominate a litany of East Coast opponents and one ranked team, No. 15 Santa Clara, Princeton will next head west for a packed weekend featuring seven games against California schools, traditionally much stronger than those from any other region. Those schools include No. 9 Long Beat State, No. 2 UCLA and, most noticeably, No. 1 Southern California, which the Tigers will face Saturday. At 13th in the nation, Princeton is the highestranked school in the country not located on the West Coast and the second-highest outside of California.

weekend and in previous tournaments, so we’re going to keep building on those,” Miller said. “We have really great team chemistry, and our energy’s been really good. We need to work on executing the plays. We’ll have a couple really good touches on the ball, but we won’t be able to execute it and put the ball away. So we’re going to work on third contact, hitting the ball and keeping the ball in play.” With mixed results in the past games, the Tigers will focus on executing when it comes to their potential as well, and they consider follow-through to be the point where their team has fallen short in the past. “We’ll have really great moments during the game, but then

we’ll also have moments where we’ll just give the other team a couple [of] points in a row,” Miller said. “We need to work on being a little more consistent. We definitely have the potential. There are great moments; we just need more of those great moments.” With a deep, competitive team and a lot of standout, consistent players, potential seems to be the buzzword coming off this weekend’s losses into future play. “Preseason is all about working out the kinks,” Kincade said. “We’re a little bit upset that the preseason didn’t go as well as planned, but we’re really excited. We’ve seen our potential, and we’re ready to put all the pieces together. I think we’ll be an incredible team when that happens.” The Tigers will begin Ivy League play on Friday, when they host Penn at Dillon Gymnasium at 7 p.m.

after scoring goals. This was the second straight game where we scored first and then gave up multiple goals. We know we need to manage our leads better.” The Tigers came back strong in the second half, refusing to let the Hoyas build on the momentum they built during the first 45 minutes of the match. Despite shots and opportunities going back and forth, further scoring did not come until the last 15 minutes. It was in the 75th minute that sophomore forward Thomas Sanner found himself on a one-on-one with Georgetown keeper Tomas Gomez. Just out of the reach of Georgetown’s defense, Sanner made a quick move to beat Gomez to the left side of the net for his second goal of the season. The Hoyas took Gomez out after he gave up his second goal of the day, replacing him with senior keeper Keon Parsa. Once again, the Hoyas responded quickly to the Tigers’ strike. Just as the game clock marked the beginning of the 80th minute, the Hoyas’ junior defensive-mid Tyler Rudy got hold of the ball at the top of the 18 and finished past MacMillan on the right side for the gameclinching goal. While it was the third time the Tigers have surrendered three goals this season, the team is building confidence in its defense. “Our defense did pretty well today. Georgetown’s best two players are really good, so you can’t put all the blame on them,” Hurtado said. “Generally we defended well, but we had mental lapses that cost us those goals. At other time we couldn’t handle their pressure as well as we could have, but defensively our team has made a lot of improvements lately.” After playing four of their first five games on the road, the Tigers look forward to

playing three of their next four games at Roberts Stadium. They will take on Florida International and Florida Gulf Coast next Friday and Saturday, respectively. Head coach Jim Barlow has stressed the importance of maintaining a positive outlook over the coming weeks. “Our coaches don’t want us to lose our confidence and
“We would have liked to have the two point conversion there just to finish them, but I thought it was a really good drive,” Surace said. “We showed a lot of heart on that drive.” The Mountain Hawks, however, are nationally ranked for a reason. Bialkowski and his unit responded with a 75-yard drive that ate up more than five minutes of clock and ended in a one-yard touchdown run from tailback Sean Farrell. After the Mountain Hawks had their own failed two-point conversion attempt, the Tigers had 2:45 left for a comeback scoring drive, but Lehigh linebacker Isaiah Campbell picked off Michelsen. The Mountain Hawks ran out the clock and held on for the 29-28 win. “I thought Connor, a couple times, got antsy, and maybe his decisions could have been a little better for a guy who’s played so much, but he’s trying to make plays,” Surace said. The first few plays of the game were reminiscent of Princeton-Lehigh games of old: Bialkowski marched Lehigh down the field, carving up the Tigers’ secondary. But in a twist to the usual script, senior free safety Philip Bhaya caught a tipped ball to pick off Bialkowski. Princeton then proceeded to march down the field, with sharp passes from Michelsen who finished the day with 210 passing yards - to wide receivers senior Roman Wilson and junior Matt Costello and even his fellow junior quarterback Quinn Epperly, who was in the backfield with him on many plays. Atwater capped off the drive with a 18-yard touchdown run. The Tigers ran their usual pre-extra point shift,
an oddity of the Surace era, but this time turned it into something extra, as senior linebacker Jason Ray, formerly a fullback, punched through into the endzone for a twopoint conversion. Wilson had a fantastic day, hauling in nine passes for 168 yards and a touchdown. Likewise, Atwater picked up where he left off last season, running for 111 yards and two touchdowns. “I thought our backs in general ran real hard, including Quinn at quarterback,” Surace said. “We finished our runs forward, which was a good sign.” The Tigers’ defense, setting up a theme for the rest of the first half, forced a quick threeand-out when the Mountain Hawks took back over on offense. However, Michelsen, attempting a long pass, threw an interception on the ensuing

Despite the turnover, Princeton forced another short possession, highlighted by Ray’s sack of Bialkowski on second down. One possession later, Princeton’s defense rose to the challenge again, forcing fourth down with sophomore defensive lineman Evan Kappatos’ sack. The Tigers’ defensive resilience was rewarded when Lehigh kicker Ryan Pandy missed a 37-yard field goal,
keeping the score at 8-0. After the Tigers stalled in the redzone and kicker Nolan Bieck’s field goal attempt was blocked Mountain Hawks defensive lineman Rickey Layton. Lehigh took over and eventually punted, setting Princeton up at its own nineyard line. The Tigers put together one of their most impressive offensive drives in recent memory, with Epperly providing a spark under center, completing consecutive passes to Wilson complemented by good runs from Atwater and sophomore tailback Dre Nelson. Epperly punched the ball into the endzone himself from the four-yard line and an empty backfield, and Princeton went up 15-0 after the extra point with 6:40 left in the first half. The Mountain Hawks finally got on the board with a field goal, but the Tigers were not done in the half. Michelsen found Wilson multiple times for big completions, including a 23-yard pass on third down. This set up a 5-yard end-around pitch by Epperly to Wilson to put the Tigers up 22-3 after the extra point. The Mountain Hawks kneed the ball to run out the remaining 31 seconds in the half and head to the locked room to regroup. When they came back out, however, Bialkowski’s offense tore up the Tigers. “We got a lot of veteran guys out there, myself included, who shouldn’t be making those mistakes,” said Bhaya, who had 10 tackles in addition to his interception. Bialkowski ended up putting on a show, throwing for 430 yards and two touchdowns as Princeton reeled, offensively and defensively. “We just didn’t finish, as you can see,” Wilson said. “We showed flashes, but it doesn’t matter – we didn’t finish.”
turn on each other because we’ve lost a few games so far,” Hurtado said. “We still want to go undefeated at home this year, and winning these next two games can definitely get our confidence up. At this point we just need to focus on the Ivy League schedule. We’re feeling good and know that we can win the league for sure if we keep playing well.”

No. 22 Lehigh dashes Tigers’ upset hopes
Tigers stay undefeated, Nicolao earns 300th career win
By Shayan Rakhit
By Saahil Madge staff writer
Coming off an undefeated run in the Princeton Invitational last weekend to open its season, the No. 13 men’s water polo team remained undefeated on the road this weekend. Head coach Luis Nicolao notched his 300th career win as the Tigers (6-0) defeated Johns Hopkins and Navy on Saturday, finishing off the perfect weekend with Sunday’s defeat of George Washington. Princeton opened the weekend against Johns Hopkins (9-2) with a comfortable 15-10 win. The Tigers scored five goals in the first period and held Hopkins to only two. Johns Hopkins rallied for five in the second, but the Tigers mirrored the high-paced offense by scoring four. Princeton was not challenged again, as it scored four goals to Hopkins’ two in the third period and two goals to one in the fourth.

The third quarter saw the Mountain Hawks offense finally heat up, cutting the Tigers’ lead to only 22-16, with a five-yard touchdown run from tailback Keith Sherman and a 15-yard touchdown pass from Lehigh quarterback Brandon Bialkowski to fullback Zach Hayden. Then, at the start of the fourth, Bialkowski hit receiver Josh Parris for a 48-yard reception to set the Mountain Hawks up on the goal line. Bialkowski then completed a touchdown to tight end Dylan Colgate for Lehigh’s first lead of the game, 23-22. Princeton did not shut down in response to 20 unanswered points. All of the Tigers’ major contributors featured in a scoring drive that heated up with a 17-yard pass from junior quarterback Connor Michelsen to senior wide receiver Roman Wilson and was capped off with a 17-yard rush from sophomore tailback DiAndre Atwater. Princeton led once again, 28-22 with 8:03 left in the game, after a failed two-point conversion attempt.

Princeton could not hold on to a 22-3 lead when Lehigh saw a third-quarter surge, cutting the score to 22-16.
Last year in Bethlehem, PA, the football team’s first half effort against Lehigh was not encouraging. That was not surprising, but then Princeton came out firing in the second half, mounting a comeback that fell just short at 17-14.

While Princeton was not able to close out the victory and suffered from multiple self-inflicted mistakes, the Tigers have reason to be encouraged.

No. 5 Syracuse outshoots No. 6 Princeton
Tigers focus on Ivy League opener
By Andrew Steele staff writer
The No. 6 field hockey team (4-2 overall, 1-0 Ivy League) suffered a loss that broke a 17-game winning streak two Sundays ago against then-No. 13 Penn State (5-3, 0-0 Big Ten). With a 3-1 record, the defending national champions managed to rebound from the loss, dismantling their first league opponent of the year by a margin of 7-1. They tasted defeat again, however, on Sunday, when the No. 5 Syracuse Orange (71, 0-1 ACC) overran Princeton’s defense, defeating the Tigers 4-0. Striking early and refusing to let
up, Princeton demonstrated consistent control of Dartmouth (1-3, 0-1), much as it did last year as part of its 7-0 run around the Ivy League. “I think we played really well as a team, and we had the mentality that a few goals weren’t enough,” junior striker Allison Evans said. “We wanted to make a statement with a big win, and I think we did just that.” Princeton got up quickly on the Big Green. Sophomore midfielder Teresa Benvenuti increased her scoring tally this year to four, turning a cross from freshman back Annabeth Donovan into a goal with just under two minutes on the clock.
Halfway through the first period another impact freshman, midfielder Cat Caro, offered an assist to Evans — last week’s Ivy League Player of the Week — who put the Tigers up 2-0. The Big Green responded shortly thereafter, converting an attack penalty corner for what would be its only goal. Though it was by no means a career day for Dartmouth goalie Ellen Meyer, she notched a commendable six saves in the first half in an attempt to stave off the Princeton barrage. However, Benvenuti redirected a corner shot from Evans into the back of the goal, putting
the Tigers up 3-1. Her third goal of the game and sixth of the season came just three minutes later off a penalty stroke. Two more goals by sophomore striker Maddie Copeland and Donovan put the game well out of reach for Dartmouth. Princeton outshot its opponent 24-5 and held a 13-3 penalty corner advantage. Part two of the Tigers’ weekend road series saw Syracuse — the only team to defeat Princeton during last year’s title run — outmatch the defending national champions.

Hurtado, Sanner score as Princeton falls to No. 19 Georgetown By Jack Rogers staff writer

Sophomore forward Nico Hurtado scored the opening goal of the game and his second on the season.
Sophomore forward Nico Hurtado picked up Sunday afternoon where he left off in his last match, scoring the first goal of the contest to put the Tigers GEORGETOWN 3 up 1-0. But PRINCETON 2 like last Wednesday’s match against Loyola, the men’s soccer team wasn’t able to maintain its lead over No. 19 Georgetown, as the Tigers (1-4) fell on the road 3-2 Sunday afternoon to the defending national runner-up. Looking to defeat the Hoyas (6-2) for the first time in their six meetings, the Tigers began the first 30 minutes of the match on an even keel with the Hoyas, with both teams netting one
goal. The contest’s beginning was nothing like last year’s meeting between the two at Roberts Stadium, when the Hoyas dominated possession and pace of play for all 90 minutes. “Today was a tough loss; we didn’t get a lot of chances,” Hurtado said. “Georgetown’s a really good team, especially being the national runner-up from last year. But the first half was even today; we got the first goal and thought, as a team, that goals would follow goals.” The Tigers struck first in the 23rd minute, as senior defensive midfielder Chris Benedict served the ball from the right side to Hurtado, who fired it into the top-left corner for his second goal of the season. But the Tigers’ lead was short-lived,
as the Hoyas took less than two minutes to respond with a goal from Steve Neumann. Georgetown forward Alex Muyl fed Neumann on a giveand-go at the corner of the six, which Neumann fired far post to even the match. Georgetown’s Brandon Allen put the Hoyas up with just over 10 minutes before halftime, as his free kick from 20 yards out ricocheted off the left post and senior goalkeeper Seth MacMillan into the net. The goal gave the Hoyas’ offensive star 14 points through his first eight games of the season. “We just fell asleep after scoring the first goal,” Hurtado said. “After being down 2-1 at the end of the first half, we knew we needed to be more mentally into it See M.

Leading up to its Ivy opener, the women’s volleyball team played three matches at the Bryant Invitational this weekend. The Tigers (4-6 overall, 0-0 Ivy League) fell to Bryant (2-13, 0-0 NEC) in a 1-3 loss on Friday. On Saturday, the team started strong with a sweep of Lowell (0-11, 0-0 America East). Princeton looked to continue the streak with a win in the first set against Stony Brook (5-10, 0-0 America East), but it couldn’t maintain the momentum and ended the day with another 1-3 loss. As has been the trend this preseason, each class had a strong showing with players contributing from all years. Sophomore Kendall Peterkin led the team in kills in all three matches, with 19 against Bryant, 13 against Lowell and 18 against Stony Brook. Freshman setter Lauren Miller, who lead the team in assists, explains that the freshmen feel confident enough to contribute to the team. “Well, we do have five freshmen on the team, but we all have a lot of experience through clubs and high schools,” Miller said. “We have the experience, so we can play up to level of Ivy League play.” Junior middle Nicole Kincade came back strong this weekend after a sprained ankle kept her on the bench. She and freshman middle Brittany Ptak together hit 14 kills without error against Lowell, and Kincade was named to the all-tournament team. Kincade explained that the time off the court gave her the opportunity to still learn from her teammates and bring that to the court when she played for the first time this weekend. This tournament was the last competition before the team begins Ivy League play, and it provided the opportunity for the team to get serious before the games start to count in the league. “In general, it’s all about momentum,” Kincade said. “It’s our preseason, so we’re still putting all the pieces together, trying out different lineups. People are coming in and out of injuries, but I think overall this weekend we saw a potential in a couple of games and longer runs. That was exciting to see, and we just need to stick that out throughout the entire match.” The weekend served as a last chance for the team to reach its stride before its conference opener. “We definitely saw a lot of good things this past See W.
