Rebecca Traister discusses book on the history of single women in the U.S. By Samuel Garfinkle Managing Editor
“There is a doctor who argues that women’s ovaries, and their teeth and skin, will dry out if their ovaries are not regularly bathed in male semen,” Rebecca Traister said in the face of nervous chuckles from the audience. She let slip that this was only a joke, and the crowd howled with laughter. Traister, a writer for New York Magazine, was invited to discuss the theme of her most recently released book. Published in 2016, All the Single Ladies discusses the history of single, unmarried women in the United States from its inception to the modern day. She began by discussing
the motivation for the piece, saying that she expected much of early history to be the literal burning of witches at the stake. The most noticeable statistic, however, appeared in the last 20 years. “The median age of first marriage for women f luctuated only between 20 and 22, and that is true through 1980 … In 1990, that age jumped to 23.9, and by 2010, it was over 27 nationally,” Traister exclaimed. Traister said her own marriage experience motivated the piece. She said she noticed that despite the age shift, marriage had remained the defining cultural transition to adulthood for women throughout the country.

Hidden Minority Council launches “FLI is Fly” week By Audrey Spensley Contributor
From April 3 to April 7, the Princeton Hidden Minority Council (PHMC) is holding a “FLI [first-generation low-income] is Fly” week to raise campus awareness about the specific experiences and challenges low-income and first-generation students face. “With this week, we really wanted to bring visibility to FLI students and get everyone to know what FLI is,” Council Co-Chair My Bui ‘18 said. “We wanted to start conversations about socioeconomic class on campus, because it’s a topic that often is stigmatized.” PHMC, founded in 2013, is an umbrella group consisting of students
from the Princeton Gates-Millenium Scholars, Princeton LEDA Scholars, and Princeton University Quest Scholars Network. The group’s mission is “to advocate for the first-generation and low income voices that aren’t being heard [on campus],” as stated on its webpage. The Council began the week of informational events with an ice cream social on Monday, April 3. “It was really an open house to start off the week by letting students know more about what [the Hidden Minority Council] does,” intersectionality chair Mark Smith ‘20 said. “It was very open, with a lot of conversations and discussions.” On, Tuesday, April 4, the group held a Resource Fair on the Frist See PHMC page 2

Buoncore stressed the importance of Animal Equality’s message to the U. community
Princeton Animal Welfare Society surveys students for views on meat agriculture By Samuel Oh staff writer
The international organization Animal Equality began a three-day survey of the University student community’s eating habits on Monday outside the Frist Campus Center. Invited by the Princeton Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Animal Equality investigated University students’ responses to international meat agriculture based on different modes of presentation. The Animal Equality booth outside Frist was manned by Emily Young and Sofia Otfinoski, staff members of Animal Equality, as well as Courtney Buoncore ’18, a member of PAWS. “What we are doing is conducting a study to measure people’s eating habits and food choices and also gauge how different kinds of outreach impacts people differ-
ently.” Young said. “So, we are doing a regular written survey, we are also showing a two-dimensional video some days, and on other days we are doing a virtual reality experience.” Young added that these techniques are being used to measure how people respond to eating animals. “This is not a general outreach, as we would normally do.” Otfinoski noted. “Our goals for this is to collect as much data as we can about how people’s behavior changes based on what intervention they received.” She added that their hypothesis is essentially that people are most impacted by virtual reality versus 2D or non-intervention and therefore will more likely make changes to their lifestyle when exposed to the virtual reality experience. Both Young and Otfinoski noted the hospitality and receptiveness of the University

community to both the survey and the organization’s message. “It’s been going very well.” Otfinoski said. “People at Princeton have been very friendly and had some really good questions for us.” She added that some people have been very shocked by the content of the video that was shown, but she noted that it is very representative of what happens to 99 percent of all meat farmed for food in America. “I would say I haven’t had anyone say ‘that’s it, I’m going vegan today’,” Young added, “but people are quite receptive and I think we are making an impact, even if people aren’t expressing that.” Buoncore stressed the importance of Animal Equality’s message to the University community both inside and outside the orange bubble.

Top financial regulator Daniel Tarullo gave his last speech as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve yesterday at the University. In his talk, Tarullo expressed his support for the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and spoke out against financial deregulation. Tarullo joined the Federal Reserve in 2009 at the height of the financial crisis. From that time until announcing his resignation in February 2017, the once-failing banks and Wall Street institutions have recovered and seen profits in the financial world. Indeed, Tarullo’s time at the Fed has seen the highs and lows of the business cycle. His stepping down, many speculate, opens up the Board to greater influence from the new administration. His stepping down comes four years before
his term was set to end and his resignation letter gave no reason. “I think that [Tarullo] has been an excellent governor,” economics professor Elizabeth Bogan wrote in an email when asked about Tarullo’s tenure at the Fed. Tarullo is best known for his work with stress tests, a tool utilized by the Federal Reserve to ensure stability of major banks. These tests regulate capital while making other banking requirements more effective. The tests aim to force banks to remain solvent and to retain the ability to work as intermediaries in markets. Stress tests involve putting banks in hypothetical situations that assess whether a bank can take a certain level of loss and still remain able to lend and engage in typical banking affairs – most importantly if the bank can still lend. When the first stress test was conducted in 2009, banks

100 level from 8:30-10 p.m. Various student centers and organizations staffed tables to provide information about support resources at the University as well as initiate dialogue about socioeconomic class and its intersection with other identities. The event took considerable time to plan, Bui and fellow board member Marisela Neff ‘20 said. “There was a process of reaching out to centers and letting them know about PHMC and why its mission is important,” Bui noted. “Then it was about getting the word out and collaborating.” “The goal was to start dialogues about FLI and get the word out about what it means to be FLI,” Neff added. “We tried to contact different centers so students will know how to reach out.” On April 5, PHMC is hosting a Scholar’s Institute Fellows Program (SIFP) Open House from 4-5 p.m. and SIFP Graduate Mixer from 5-6:30 p.m. on the third floor of the UStore. SIFP is a continuation of the Freshman Scholars Insittute (FSI). Both programs provide first-generation and low-income students with “mentorship, academic enrichment, and scholarly community throughout their time at Princeton,” according to SIFP’s webpage. “SIFP recently moved its head-
quarters, so the open house is a way for students to feel more comfortable stopping in for help,” Neff said. “It’s also a way for them to meet students in graduate school who have already done undergrad and who have a similar background.” On Thursday April 6, PHMC will conclude the week with an FLI Capstone Dinner at the Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding. Paul Rodney ‘00, Co-Head of Raines International’s Diversity and Inclusion Practice, will be the keynote speaker. Members of the council stressed the week’s focus on inclusion, discussion, and awareness. Bui added that many students don’t realize how socioeconomic class can affect day-to-day life at Princeton. Bui said the council focuses on three words: connect, discuss, and advocate. “We want to connect students to resources that can help them, to other students to professors,” she said. “We want to advocate for University policies.” Co-Chair and Treasurer Melana Hammel ‘18, who has served on the council since she was a freshman, noted that the group has grown considerably in both size and visibility since its founding three years ago. “The original board started with seven to ten members, and now there are 30 just on the board,” Hammel said. “If you look at the listserv, at who comes to our events, you see that the
group has grown immensely.” In his first annual letter to the community, University President Christopher Eisgruber ‘83 specifically mentioned the Hidden Minority Council while emphasizing the University’s commitment to supporting students of all socioeconomic background. “We have students at the activities fair at Preview and in the first few weeks of freshman year who already know about us,” Hammel said. “Especially considering our name is the Hidden Minorities Council, that’s really incredible.” This is the first year that PHMC has held a “FLI is Fly” week, and they hope to continue it in future years, Bui added. According to Hammel, one of the group’s major goals is to not only continue to grow but also to reach out to similar groups at other colleges. “We want to build relationships with other schools,” Hammel said, adding that Emory University had started a similar program as the PHMC’s 2016 “Thoughts” campaign, in which students shared their experiences with being low-income or first-generation. Ultimately, the goal of the week is to emphasize the unique contributions and experiences of first-generation and low-income students, according to Hammel. “The name is ‘FLI is Fly’,” she said. “We want to look at our experiences through many lenses, with a final emphasis on the positive.”

plained how the principle of coverture essentially meant that women were the property of their spouses, their own identities “covered” by those of their respective husbands. She also noted that this contributed to a co-dependence: men depended on women to take care of the household so they could focus on income, and women depended on men for income, housing, and social standing. “It wasn’t until 1974, with the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, that married women could get their own credit cards, mortgages, or loans without the signature, the permission, of their husbands,” Traister explained. “Marital rape was not, in fact, considered illegal until deep into the 1970s, with some of those laws still enacted until the 1990s.” Traister also expounded on the intersectionality of feminist issues at this point in time, talking about how the right of free marriage was not extended to slaves, but that many of these slaves were forced to marry other slaves, both to discourage running away and to produce enslaved children. Expansion to the West Coast brought its own set of issues, namely a gender imbalance that spawned several drastic proposed solutions. “In 1865, the governor of Massachussetts actually suggested transporting 30,000 surplus women to Oregon and California,” Traister noted. Still, increasing numbers of unmarried women caused a shift in attitudes towards their societal role, transforming it from socially unacceptable behavior to a pious position of increased responsibility to the community. Traister explained that the movements for abolition, suffrage, temperance, and prohibition were borne by a wave of unmarried women. She also noted that public education began with women filling the majority of teaching roles and led to the first major inclusion of women in unions. By this time, the stigma against being unmarried had been weakened, but was far from disappearing. The first peak in women’s single personhood appeared near the end of the 19th century. “For women born between 1865 and 1875 that peak, by the way, is only 11 percent, so we’re still talking about a tremendous minority,” Traister explained.
Traister said that an increasing number of women had joined the workforce by the beginning of the 20th century, noting Lowell, Massachusetts and the Triangle Shirtwaist factory as prominent examples. She credits women with contributing to a large portion of activist movements throughout history, including labor and social justice. “It is young women and girls in factories who staged some of the very first walkouts of what would become the labor movement,” Traister said. Tying this era together, Traister praised the achievements of single women during this time period. “If you consider single women as serious drivers of these nation-changing social movements, and I do … you can see the impact that they had: labor laws, reshaping the constitution, the 14th, 15th, 18th, 19th Amendments,” Traister explained. She then noted that soon after, many establishments, from political to medical and social, started to encourage women to date and marry. The same “old maid” narrative from before started to reappear, stigmatizing women who chose not to date in the 20th century. She further explained that the development of suburbs further pressured women into marrying and having children, though she noted that this pressure predominantly applied to the white families who were allowed to live in these neighborhoods. To some degree, the messages worked. “By 1960, around 60 percent of female students were dropping out of college…. Nearly half of brides in 1960 were under 19,” Traister said. The Voting Rights Act, the advent of legal and advanced contraception, and the creation of new professions and paths for women overrode any inf luences from the previous era by the late 1970s, Traister noted. However, she argued that public policy has yet to catch up to meet the needs of more fully empowered women. “42 percent of single women now live below the poverty line. Two-thirds of minimum wage workers are women; half of minimum wage workers are single mothers,” Traister explained. She ended by explaining that modern fights for women’s rights are just as essential to the story of single women throughout history. Traister’s talk was part of the Stafford Little Lecture Series and took place in McCosh 50 at 6:00 p.m. on April 4.

“In terms of Princeton, in an academic situation it seems unreasonable for people not to be conscious and analyze the things that they are consuming and realize the implications of their consumption, especially in regards to health reasons and environmental concerns.” Buoncore said. “Even if people are not inclined to transition immediately, it is very important to understand all of the facts behind the issue.” Animal Equality is an international animal rights nonprofit organization founded in Spain, with the American branch headquartered in Los Angeles.

Outrageous conversation
Jacquelyn Thorbjornson senior columnist
R
ecently, I penned an opinion column about the lack of liberal news coverage of the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl at a high school in Rockville, Maryland. My column was, arguably, both conservative and controversial. I expected some would naturally take issue with my opinion, and indeed, my colleague Ryan Chavez wrote a response almost immediately. But Chavez’s response was riddled with problems in itself, both in its logic and, more importantly, in its journalistic integrity. It warrants a response. The crux of his opposition to my piece is his claim that the “outrage” to the Brock Turner case only came after Turner received his light sentencing. This, Chavez claims, was the only reason the case constituted national news. This is an interesting manipulation of truth, considering that Turner’s crime was covered extensively in national media before Turner’s conviction. In January and February, the New York Post and The Guardian, among other networks, expressed disgust and outrage about the crime, which was, at the time, only an allegation. Interestingly enough, Chavez did not think these reports constituted a na-
tional response to the crime. Chavez’s integrity declined to a new level when, in the absence of any more facts to misconstrue, he resorts to ad hominem attacks on my argument, making less than subtle allegations about my journalistic intent. Chavez claims that my “call to spread information about this incomplete case may have less to do with the alleged crime itself and more to do with the identities of the accused.” My original column could not have been clearer; a 14-yearold girl was brutally raped in a bathroom stall, and “we should be outraged.” It is precisely because the identities of the accused should not matter that I called out the comparatively weak public and local response to the Rockville case, in contrast with the Turner case. The crime that occurred at Rockville High School should disgust everyone who hears of it, and the fact that the accused were undocumented immigrants, rather than white, male Stanford swimmers, should do nothing to quell that disgust. If Chavez is cunningly manipulating my argument, he attempts to skirt around this point entirely. In light of Chavez’s falsities and misinterpretations, one would be disappointed to find that something more insidious exists in Chavez’s response. But
Chavez does not disappoint. The title of Chavez’s column, “Becky with the Bad Bias,” is a play on Beyoncé’s “Sorry” song lyric “Becky with the good hair,” and it invokes gender in what is both a grossly unnecessary and overtly condescending way. Take a step back and consider the hypothetical: would this title be relevant if I were a male? If I was a male author, would Chavez have selected the same title, and if so, would it have had the same effect? This title is absolutely irrelevant to the debate at hand. There is no “Becky” to speak of, nor “good hair,” nor “bad biases”; there is only a female columnist calling for a stronger media response to an alleged rape. Instead of bolstering his already botched opinion, Chavez’s title serves no purpose other than to highlight my gender, and the fact that my gender would be considered relevant to a debate is a reflection of the sexism that opinionated women must combat every day. Such a gendered attack threatens all female authors, by distracting from our arguments and forcing us to instead respond to discriminatory efforts based on our sex. The exhibited paternalism is not only patronizing, it is reprehensible. Yet again, we should be outraged. I know I am. Sexism and misogyny plague many aspects of our culture.
Chavez’s title is evidence of that. To dissolve these binding social constructs, individuals must recognize blatant acts of misogyny and misandry for what they are and stand up against them. Abolition compels action. Sexism need not persist and pervade in our culture — but it must be actively reproached. When an individual’s thoughts, opinions, or writing is trivialized based on their gender, it demands a response. The title of my original column, “Outrage,” would, ironically, be a fitting title for this column as well. It is outrageous that in response to my call for mainstream media on both sides to condemn rape despite the political implications, Chavez made a casual display of misogyny. Chavez’s article detracted from the integrity of the political discourse that could have surrounded this contentious current event. Instead, Chavez relied on ad hominem attacks and sexism to articulate his opposition to my opinion. Where he could have contributed to meaningful political dialogue, Chavez contributed instead to a conversation about people — a conversation about authors.

Let’s talk about the Honor Code Jan Domingo Alsina
Contributing Columnist
T
here’s a maddening culture of competition on this campus. It’s the least you can expect at such a school, but it definitely creates a sense of overwhelming stress for many students. Tragically, this often leads to mental health problems. Behind of this stress and competition, the Honor Code plays a distinguishable role. When students begin a test and sign it with that memorable statement, “I pledge my honor that I have not violated the Honor Code during this examination,” not all realize the tradition dates back to the end of the nineteenth century. It is a tradition heavily embedded within the fabric of this University, like so many others, and so it is upheld and regarded with a sense of unwavering respect. And that’s why it’s kept in place. There’s no determinable
way we can know the Honor Code is the best system to prevent cheating. It’s a tradition, and I fully respect that, which is why I am not calling for its removal, but instead its revision. There’s a point where we should ask ourselves if the Honor Code is too harsh. If found guilty, the Honor Committee suspends students for a whole year, and more importantly, leaves the student’s offense on permanent record. This is on the first offense. I’m not so comfortable knowing that if I see cheating on a test, I am mandated to report the individual. Yes, I know it is all to uphold academic integrity, and that in not reporting I am willingly violating the Code, but let me rephrase it: I’m not comfortable knowing that if I see cheating, I might have to ruin someone’s life. And neither are other students, which is why most don’t report offenses. In a 2009 survey from The Daily Princetonian, it was found that out of 85 students
who consciously saw cheating, only four reported it. The reality is that most students aren’t comfortable with the burden this part of the Honor Code represents because they’re aware that their decisions can actually hurt other students for the worst. In other words, the Honor Code’s vision for perfect academic integrity is routinely violated because, alarmingly, some students actually have empathy for others. They realize that cheating may be immoral, but so would be subjecting another student to the stress and pain of a permanent offense and a oneyear suspension. Another side to the issue is the idea of how collaboration often conflicts with the Honor Code. We are told since day one here that collaboration and teamwork are encouraged values, and yet we live in constant fear that a single line of shared code will result in a heart-stopping email from the committee. The line between collaboration and suspension is
markedly blurred. And, to what degree are we sure that the severity of the punishment actually lowers rates of cheating? There’s absolutely no evidence showing that our specific version of the Honor Code actually results in less cheating. Particularly in law, there’s just no proof that increasing the severity of a punishment lowers crime. The “War on Drugs” stands as a testament to this. Declaring a substance illegal and cranking up the punishment simply doesn’t have to correlate with a decrease in drug use. If we were to, for example, make the punishment for a first offense an expulsion, would that result in less cheating? Maybe it would, but as pointed out previously, even fewer students would feel comfortable with reporting cheating, because the burden would feel even heavier. So maybe it wouldn’t hurt to rethink the severity of the punishment. The concept that I, as a student, have the binding duty
copy Hannah Waxman ’19 Catherine Benedict ‘20
of policing others and potentially ruining their futures baffles me. I don’t stand for cheating, but I can’t fathom the idea that, in reporting, I might send a student straight into depression, or tragically, to something worse. This leads me to my final point. This campus has a mental health problem, as we are constantly reminded. Part of it is the stress, the competition, the pressure. Would it be far-fetched to ask ourselves if the Honor Code’s severity plays a role in our mental health problem? I for one think that, to a frightening extent, it does. A tradition or not, as it stands right now the Honor Code is by no means perfect. I welcome with open arms any conversation concerning its revision.

Tarullo best known for his work with financial stress tests, tools utilized by the Fed to ensure banks’ stability TARULLO Continued from page 1

took an inexplicably long time to find and analyze the data surrounding their exposure and the risk of their assets. The current strength of stress tests is derived from Dodd-Frank law, a major piece of financial regulation created in response to the Great Recession. In accordance with DoddFrank, annual stress tests are conducted on major banks. Each year, a quantitative report is published detailing the ability for each bank to react and survive in a crisis. Tarullo explained that due to the heavy weight that investors
and the public put on these reports, banking supervisors often overvalue these results instead of focusing on the comprehensive analysis that the stress tests provide. Dodd-Frank applies stricter regulations to larger banks, especially the ones deemed a threat to the financial system if they fail due to their complex ties to other financial institutions. The law also applies to community banks, requiring the banks to save more capital and grow at a slower pace. Tarullo believes that while the Dodd Frank legislation has been a major boost to the financial system, it is not without its own flaws. For example, he explained that he believes the severity of restrictions

of the doubleheader, but Nori led the team to a 2-0 victory nonetheless with her second shutout of the weekend. Princeton had numerous opportunities throughout the game, but its only two runs came off of doubles from sophomore Keeley Walsh and freshman Allison Harvey in the fourth and fifth innings respectively. That is all Nori would need, as she was practically unhittable, allowing only two hits and one walk. Princeton’s weekend was highlighted by the performances of their two start pitchers,
Klausner and Nori, who improved their records to 5-3 and 5-1 respectively. Offensively, Princeton benefitted from the performances of many players, but most notably sophomore Kaylee Grant, who was awarded Ivy League Player of the Week Honors for batting 5-7 with three doubles. After logging a somewhat lackluster record through nonconference play, Princeton demonstrated its mettle in the first weekend of conference action. Princeton will travel to New England this weekend to face two more opponents in the Ivy League North Division, Harvard, and Dartmouth, with the hopes of keeping the winning streak alive.

Recently the Federal Reserve has offered banks who failed the quantitative portion of the stress test to amend their plans for assets so that they would pass a stress test. This offering is in response to banks suffering severe financial penalties for failing the stress test. “Capital regulation [is] the single most important element in prudential financial regulation,” said Tarullo. Tarullo closed his speech by championing strict regulations in order to ensure financial stability and longevity of markets. The event took place at 4:30 p.m. on April 4 in Robertson Hall.

Baseball sweeps Bears in Ivy League season opener, beaten by Bulldogs By Chris Murphy sports writer
This weekend the Tigers took Clarke Field for the first time this season. After having a rough opening patch of the schedule, Princeton looked to get back on track with a four-game homestand against Iv y League foes. On Sunday, Princeton opened up their conference season on a high note w ith two w ins against the Brown Bears in doubleheader action. The first game was decided in extra innings when freshman designated hitter Conor Nolan hit a walk off single after freshman David Harding and senior Nick Hernandez both singled off of pitcher Samuel Hauser and got into scoring position. The first game was tight throughout, with both starting pitchers doing a great job minimizing sequences of hits. Senior pitcher Chris Giglio ambushed early, giving up a run in both the first and second inning against the Bears and facing lots of hard hit balls. However he settled down in the middle innings and finished with six innings pitched five hits, two runs (both earned) and seven strikeouts. Relief pitcher — sophomore Ryan Smith — earned his first win of the season after coming into the game in the seventh inning. He held Brown to only two hits over the final innings

and struck out three as the Bears were never able to threaten in the seventh or eighth inning. On the other side, Princeton did most of their damage in the final innings. After scoring only one run against Brown starter Max Ritchie, the Tigers opened up their offense in the seventh and eighth innings. The Tigers amassed four hits, as many as they did in the first six, and scored two runs to take the first game of the series against Brown. While the first game’s
story was defense, the second game of the doubleheader was an offensive clinic for the Tigers. Princeton defeated Brown 11-5 and amassed 13 hits. Nick Hernandez had himself a career day, smashing two home runs and driving in five batters for the Tigers; both were career highs for Hernandez. But the offense didn’t stop there; the Tigers chased Brow n starter Bobby Leyman just three innings into the game and poured it on the Bears defense all evening. The
game featured three Tiger home runs highlighted by Hernandez’s grand slam in the eighth to put the game away for good. Despite senior Chad Powers giving up 12 hits, he limited the Bears to just five runs (three earned), struck out five and gave the Tigers a solid 6.2 innings, preserving the bullpen for the upcoming games. The Tigers went back to work on Monday, taking on Yale in a rematch of last year’s Iv y League championsh ip game. While last year’s match
was taken by the Tigers, this time the Bulldogs won the series and defeated Princeton in both games. The first game was a very sloppy game for the Tigers especially in the fourth inning. All told, five errors led to eight unearned runs for the Bulldogs, leading to an 8-0 shutout. While the score told a very ugly story, the Tigers actually had a nice outing by their relievers ; sophomore Trey Ramsey, freshman Eli Kimbell, and junior Bryce Keller combined for a shutout over the final three innings. The second game against Yale was very reminiscent of the championship series last year. Junior pitcher Ben Gross had seven innings of solid work, scattering seven hits and allowing one earned run. Gross took a tough loss, however as the Tigers lost 3-1. A twoout double by Andrew Herrera gave Yale the lead for good as the Bulldogs were up 2-1 at this point. The Tigers could not get enough offense mustered against the impressive Yale pitching and lost the second game of the series. Up next for the Tigers is a game at Monmouth, followed by four more Iv y League matchups over the weekend. On Saturday the Tigers will take on Dartmouth and then on Sunday the Tigers will be at Cambridge taking on Harvard.

Princeton softball made a strong claim as to why it is the team to beat in the Ivy League by going undefeated this weekend, boasting a pair of wins against Brown and Yale. The team won both close and lopsided games over the course of the weekend and asserted its dominance on offense and defense. Princeton began the weekend with a Saturday doubleheader against Brown. With a three-run first inning, the Tigers sprung out to a quick lead in the first game, and led 4-0 after two innings. That lead was large enough for senior Claire Klausner to protect, as the pitcher tossed a complete game. Despite allowing three solo home runs interspersed throughout the game, she kept the lead secure in the final inning, as the Tigers won 4-3. Princeton won the second matchup in a much more convincing fashion. The team’s offensive onslaught led to a 10-0 victory, with the mercy rule being called after only five innings. The floodgates

came open for the Tigers in the fourth inning, in which the team posted a whopping eight runs on the scoreboard. Junior shortstop and second baseman Danielle Dockx contributed a three-run home run, and the remaining runs came courtesy of four run-scoring doubles. Senior Erica Nori was dominant on the mound, tossing a fiveinning shutout. The following day’s doubleheader against Yale followed a similar pattern, with one win coming in a blowout and the other in a closely contested game. In the first matchup of the day, the Tigers scored early and often en route to a 9-1 victory. After a four-run first inning gave Princeton an early lead, sophomore Alexandra Viscusi drilled a three-run home run in the fourth to blow the lead open to 8-1. A Marissa Reynolds RBI later triggered the mercy-rule, and the Tigers won 9-1 in five innings. Klausner posted her second complete game of the weekend, conceding only one run over the five innings.
