Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor ‘76 and Elena Kagan ‘81 discussed the importance of judicial impartiality Friday evening.

Justices Sotomayor ’76, Kagan ’81 examine impartiality, gender disparities at ‘She Roars’ Staff Writers

Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor ’76 and Elena Kagan ’81 spoke to thousands of mostly female audience members on Friday about the court’s impartiality, challenges faced by women in their careers, and memories from their time at Princeton as part of the 2018 “She Roars” conference.

At the talk, which was moved from Robertson Hall to Jadwin Gymnasium to accommodate demand, the justices were greeted by a warm and excited standing ovation.

Ramona Romero, the University’s general counsel, introduced the justices by highlighting their similari-

ties: Both women hail from New York, love baseball, and wrote exceptionally long senior theses for the Department of History.

Heather Gerken ’91, the first female dean of Yale Law School, moderated the talk.

Kagan and Sotomayor spoke to the fundamental importance of impartiality in maintaining the legitimacy of the court.

“Part of the court’s strength and part of its legitimacy is that people don’t think of it as politically divided in the same way as the rest of the government, as somehow being above the fray,” Kagan said, adding, “It’s an incredibly important thing for the court to guard.”

Kagan noted that the

court voted unanimously on about half of its cases, explaining that the most controversial cases are the ones that receive the most media attention.

The justices’ discussion of partisanship was particularly timely, given U.S. Court of Appeals judge Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court and the intense partisanship that has surrounded his approval process.

Both the justices and the moderator remained silent on Kavanaugh and the allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

The bulk of the talk focused on Sotomayor’s and Kagan’s professional careers and the challenges they faced as women.

“I don’t believe that you

can be part of the working world without having a story about being treated differently because you are a woman,” Sotomayor said.

Kagan, the first female dean of Harvard Law School, told a story about a framed collection of uniformly white, male former deans that had hung in her predecessor’s office.

“The first thing I did was take that picture down,” she said.

Both women expressed gratitude for colleagues who supported them throughout their careers.

“There were always men of good will, who understood that equality had to be put into practice,” Sotomayor said. “No matter how hostile of an environment it may seem, you have to look

‘She Roars’ panel discusses campus sexual misconduct

By Leslie Kim Contributor

On Friday, a year after the #MeToo movement brought sexual misconduct to the American spotlight, a panel updated interested alumnae on the University’s sexual misconduct and Title IX policies, as part of the “She Roars” conference.

Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity Michele Minter, Director of

Title IX Administration Regan Hunt Crotty ’00, and Director of the Sexual Harassment/Assault, Advising, Resources, and Education Office Jackie M. Deitch-Stackhouse, spoke about the roles of their offices, campus prevention strategies, and disciplinary measures.

“This is a very complicated moment in terms of talking about sexual misconduct in our country,” noted Minter, to open the panel. She added that See MISCONDUCT page 2

Women make up 23 percent of senators and 19 percent of representatives. Female Tiger alumnae want to change that.

On Saturday, Oct. 6, five University alumnae discussed the importance of women in politics at the panel “She Should Run: Why and How More Princeton Women (Like You) Should Run for Office,” a part of the “She Roars” conference.

The discussion was moderated by Linda Frankenbach ’74, She Should Run board member and Fistmi Inc. founder and CEO. The panelists included Andrea Campbell ’04, Boston City Council District 4 president; Laura Ellsworth ’80, Global Community Service Initiatives and Jones Day Partner-in-Charge; Nan Hayworth ’81, ophthalmologist and former congresswoman for New York’s 19th Congressional DisSee WOMEN page 3

Ellie Kemper ’02 closed the University’s second “She Roars” conference, attended by over 3,000 alumnae, by praising the resilient women in her life and recalling her years as an undergraduate.

The actress and comedian is known for her role on “The Office” and for star-

ring in “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” for which she received two Emmy nominations.

Aili McConnon ’02 introduced Kemper, whom she met on the first day of field hockey practice, with a slideshow that featured pictures of Kemper as a University student.

When asked why they decided to attend the University, neither Sotomayor nor Kagan could remember the exact reason. Being in the third and eighth classes to admit women, respectively, both justices recalled feeling keenly aware of their gender throughout their studies at the University.

But each praised the opportunities Princeton granted them, and expressed how thrilled they were to see the thousands of alumnae gathered together before them.

Alumni, students, and administrators alike reported feeling moved by the presentation. Silvia Briones ’95 said the presentation left her “awestruck” and

Last night, ambitious students put their heads together to make the University experience better for undergraduate students.

The Undergraduate Student Government discussed the First Year Residential Experience, international student representation in the Senate, and the Princeton Leadership Profiles on Portfolium during its weekly meeting on Oct. 7.

Associate Dean of Undergraduate Students Mellisa Thompson and Butler College Director of Student Life Deshawn Cook were the first to present, discussing the rebranding of freshman orientation programs, collectively known as FYRE. “We wanted to make sure that students understood that FYRE was set to signal certain community values for us,” Thompson said.

FYRE includes LGBTQ+ discussion panels, a play, and subsequent debriefs focused on sexual assault and harassment, mindfulness events, the “Safer Sexpo,” and a ‘Kognito Study See USG page 4

“speechless.”

Joana Li ’17, now a student at NYU Law School, praised the conference as a whole for providing the opportunity to be able to talk to and get advice from other alumnae.

“It’s an amazing event,” she said. “It’s been so great to hear from Princeton women from all different walks of life who are able to share their experiences post-Princeton. They’re incredible.”

Associate Dean of the College Khristina F. Gonzales echoed Li’s appreciation for the gathering of women from so many classes in one place, saying that students could learn a lot from both the Justices on stage and alumni in the audience.

“It was really powerful to hear Justice Sotomayor talk about her experiences as a first gen and low income student here at Princeton,” she said. “It’s an amazing opportunity to bring together the community of women who are current students, staff, faculty, and alums, and to think about the power we have together.”

Nathaniel Hontz ’21 said the talk was a “once in a lifetime experience.”

“It was interesting to see how much of their character they saw as being formed at Princeton,” Hontz said.

“That was fascinating.”

The talk was held in Jadwin Gym at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 5, as a part of the “She Roars: Celebrating Women at Princeton” conference, the second of its kind meant to celebrate University alumnae.

any audience member should feel free to take a break should they become uncomfortable at any time. Minter also explained that the University made extensive changes to its policies regarding sexual misconduct in 2014.

“If you were on campus prior to 2014, the experience you would have had is quite different than what our students experience now,” she noted.

Deitch-Stackhouse then spoke about the evolution of the SHARE office. She told the audience that, particularly in the last seven years, the office has “grown both in scope and in size” as a space for survivors.

One of SHARE’s newest policies is required online training courses for first-year students, with course registration placed on hold if uncompleted.

Deitch-Stackhouse stated she is “very proud” of SHARE’s programming, adding that the University of Pennsylvania has modeled their policies on the University’s, with other Ivies looking to follow as well.

The SHARE office is also building relationships with spaces across campus and the community, working closely with varsity athletics and eating clubs, Deitch-Stackhouse added.

She described her job and those of the other panelists as “dipping their toes into restorative justice.”

She went on to discuss some specific highlights regarding the University’s policy towards sexual assault during the past years. This includes the prevention and health promotion campaign ‘UMatter.’

Asked about the culture of heavy drinking in the eating clubs and its potential effect

on consent, Deitch-Stackhouse pointed to student-initiated consent pledges at the eating clubs. As these pledges are suggested and approved by members, she expects the students to be aware of their commitment. She also explained that there are sober officers on duty every night.

Minter took back the microphone to speak about the prevalence of sexual misconduct on campus, which is about on par with college campuses across the country. For the past three years, the University has conducted an annual “We Speak” survey to gather information about these incidents.

“We are not happy about the prevalence of the numbers, but we are happy about the awareness of resources and positive movement,” Minter said.

Crotty then brief ly discussed Title IX procedures, noting that there is no hearing process or meeting between the individuals in the case.

“Any barrier to this process, we want to eliminate or reduce,” explained Crotty. “If people don’t think this is a fair process, people are not going to come to us.”

“I think every single one [victim] breaks my heart, and then you remember they’re 20 years old,” she added, speaking more personally.

Audience members Paola Scarpellini Crotts ’82 and Hope Blackburn ’81 commented on how the timeliness of this issue drew them to the panel.

“The recent change in what the government will mandate or not, giving universities more leeway to interpretation, has me worried,” Crotts said.

“And also the fear of rolling back to where we used to be,” Blackburn added.

The panel was held in Maeder Auditorium on Friday, Oct. 5, at 3 p.m.

trict; and Kristin Lynch ’05, National Press Secretary for N.J. Senator Cory Booker.

“Princeton women have proven that they are leaders, just the kind of people who should be leading on big stages,” Frankenbach began.

“We just need a gentle push to run.”

Frankenbach noted that there are 29,000 total University alumnae, with 3,400 in attendance at the 2018 “She Roars” conference.

“How many of you have ever run for office?” Frankenbach asked, prompting a handful of women in the room to raise their hands.

“And how many of you have actually held office?” she continued, causing almost every hand to drop.

But when Frankenbach asked who wanted to run for office in the future, approximately a quarter of the women raised their hands.

Ellsworth said that her experience at the University armed her with the tools necessary to run in the primary for Pennsylvania governor earlier this year.

“Princeton gave me a respect for ideas and taught me that being one of the few women in the room does not matter,” Ellsworth said. “Women aren’t in it because they want to be someone. They’re in it because they want to do something.”

Lynch, recalling her own experiences behind-the-scenes for men in power, pointed out the importance of being “the woman or the woman behind the woman.”

“Kids don’t see themselves reflected in positions of power,” said Lynch, who called it a “real problem.”

When asked if there were different professional standards for men and women, Lynch said that women in the public eye are expected to be “smart, powerful, competent, and attractive,” calling it a “difficult line to toe.”

But as a woman of color, Campbell said she had to prove her ability to get someone to invest in her campaign and that there were various “biases and stereotypes to overcome.”

“We need people with different experiences and back-

grounds, and a government that we’re proud of and doesn’t waste money and time,” Campbell said.

She explained the importance of asking yourself when running for office: “Who are you? What are you about?

What will you do when you get there?”

However, Hayworth did not feel disadvantaged, explaining that she always felt welcomed in Washington, D.C. during her time as a congresswoman.

“There are really good people in Washington on both sides of the aisle who want to do great things for all of us,” Hayworth said.

She said that the three things needed to be viable in politics are “time spent on the ground in the local party, relationships, and money.”

Ellsworth noted that she ran because of her desire to see real changes in Pennsylvania.

“I wanted to hear a voice in politics that I wasn’t hearing from either party,” Ellsworth said. “All I needed was the guts to stand up and open my mouth.”

Frankenbach continued the discussion by emphasizing the lack of female representation in Congress, pointing out that women make up 23 percent of senators and 19 percent of representatives.

She also noted that, prior to the conference, the panel speakers came to the consensus that their panel’s discussion “should be the beginning of something.”

“This is not a static moment,” Frankenbach said. “We want to start something.”

Frankenbach encouraged the alumnae to push their boundaries and to fight for their passions.

“We don’t have to accept the status quo,” she said. “It clearly hasn’t worked, and this week has shown us that.”

Frankenbach ended the panel by asking the audience once again to raise their hand if they were now thinking about running for office.

This time, almost half of the women in attendance raised their hands.

“We are going to vote for all of you,” she said.

The panel took place at 9 a.m. in the Frist Campus Center Multipurpose room.

McConnon said.

McConnon then passed the stage to Kemper, who began her speech by taking a selfie with the crowd.

With humorous self-deprecation, she said that she wondered why she was selected to speak at the event when there are many other capable alumnae, like Michelle Obama ’85, Brooke Shields ’87, and Queen Noor of Jordan ’73.

“When Queen Noor says ‘no’ to something, people turn to me next,” she joked.

She then wondered if she was called to speak because of her thesis.

“Had my undergrad English treatise on irony in the face of tragedy earned the recognition it had always deserved, 16 years later? ” she asked the crowd, who met her comment with laughs.

Kemper said she wondered what sort of insight she has that no other speaker has. She said she has worked with confident and strong women throughout her life, starting with her own mother, Dorothy “Dotty” Ann Jannarone Kemper ’72. Kemper began studying at the University as a junior when it started admitting women in 1969.

According to Kemper, her mother was a member of the Triangle Club and Cap and Gown eating club. She was also a “phenomenal athlete” and showed “how a woman should behave in the world.”

Kemper also spoke to her experiences on the field hockey team, for which she often warmed the bench.

From her experiences with the field hockey team, she learned that “women are at their best when they are helping other women.”

“We listen to each other. We don’t interrupt each other,” she explained.

“Women find strength in

one another.”

Kemper expressed her gratitude for the University, where she met inspiring women who remained close friends for life.

Turning to her acting career, Kemper said that she had the privilege of working with some of the most talented women in her industry, mentioning Kristen Wiig and Mindy Kaling.

But Kemper also ref lected on the gendered way she is asked about her work.

She noted that people always ask her about what is it like to have Tina Fey as a boss. According to Kemper, people always want to know what it is like having a woman as a boss but never ask about male bosses.

“Nobody ever asks Donald Trump if it’s uncomfortable being the boss of all these people,” she said, adding that she is not comfortable with his being the boss of all Americans.

In comparison, Kemper described Tina Fey as “quiet, respectful, and diligent,” saying that she knew everyone’s names and would ask how their kids were doing.

Kemper called Fey an “absolute emblem of what it’s like to be a good female boss, or a good boss in general.”

As she neared the conclusion of her speech, Kemper said that she kept revisiting her remarks for this event during the “rough” events of the previous week, presumably referring to the highly contested nomination process leading up to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court on Saturday.

To end her speech on a lighter note, she proceeded to lead the crowd in multiple tiger roars.

The reception ended with the group singing “Old Nassau.”

The event took place over dinner at 8:30 p.m. in Jadwin Gymnasium on Saturday, Oct. 6.

Break,’ which trains students to recognize warning signs of psychological distress.

Leadership Program Coordinator Claire Pinciaro ’13 discussed the launching of a new initiative, the Princeton Leadership Profiles. The profiles will be published on Portfolium, a private, closed network for Princeton students.

“A lot of feedback we were getting from students was that it would be great if we had this one centralized way to navigate involvements and opportunities,” Pinciaro said.

Sten Sjoberg ’21 suggested to USG that the Senate appoint a non-voting representative to address the specific needs of international students on campus.

“Cornell, Columbia, and UPenn, to name a few, all have representatives already on their senate[s],” Sjoberg said.

The University’s lack of Curricular Practical Training (CPT), whereby international students can pursue summer internships in the United States, and the ramifications of U.S. “travel bans” are a few of the issues that the Senate international representative might focus on, according to Sjoberg.

Honor Committee Chair Elizabeth Haile ’19 informed

the Senate of the Honor Committee’s further progress on its outreach to first-year students to fill two positions.

Next, U-Councilor Aditya Shah ’21 and Class of 2021 Senator Elizabeth Bailey ’21 submitted a proposal for the Transportation Task Force. According to Shah and Bailey, the task force would principally aim to investigate the possibility of bringing electric scooters to campus and to improve student accessibility of TigerTransit.

Class of 2020 Senator Brad Spicher ’20 additionally introduced a proposal for the Financial Reform Task Force.

This task force would look into increasing the USG budget by raising student fees, for example. “[We want to] make it more feasibly understandable for your average person who isn’t digging through ten thousand cells on Microsoft Word,” Spicher said.

U-Councilor Katya Vera ’20 and U-Councilor Isabella Faccone ’21 also talked about the start of formal USG office hours on Tuesdays from 8:30–10 p.m.

USG approved the new Academics Committee Financial Resources Sub-Committee and confirmed Julie Shin ’22 and Lily Zhang ’21 to the Communications Committee.

The no-good reality of acne: a new conversation

Senior Columnist

L

ast week, I nervously waited for an allergist to prick my back with 37 possible food triggers, any one of which could cause my skin to react in hives.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the Atlantic article that popped up on my phone, entitled “Pimples Could Be Good for Your Grades.” The too-good-to-betrue title speaks for itself. Although writer Alia Wong takes a fairly balanced approach to discussing evidence for the correlation between acne and strong academic performance, her words still project a patronizing tone of faux sympathy for acne sufferers. By positing the correlation — that is inconclusive at best — as some sort of boon for the acneplagued, her words diminish the debilitating trauma that acne causes its victims.

Few people on campus know about my intense battle with acne and how it has affected most of my daily life. On my part, I have concealed my scars and cysts with makeup and have been reticent to talk about my struggles due to the fear that others will judge me or misinterpret my hormonal acne as a product of poor diet or lack of hygiene. However, having read Wong’s piece, I am finally ready to start a serious conversation about acne — one that doesn’t try to sugarcoat its horrifying consequences but instead focuses on finding effective solutions for treating it.

My acne is the reason why I

haven’t published any pieces since the summer. Most of my spare time has been spent dealing with medical issues: an extreme photodermatitis rash that burned my skin until it turned purple and started peeling and a severe breakout that involved blood and pus.

Then, there was what appeared to be flesh-eating papules ravaging my jawline. I know there are other students on campus — male and female — who I am sure are silently suffering through similar issues. Now, I feel as though someone should respond to Wong’s claim that fluff like the weak link between acne and good grades is “a small but valuable nugget of good news” for those of us who see acne as their constant nemesis.

I do not believe there will ever be a mythical “silver lining” to a condition that is as physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially draining as acne. Wong may see it as a sufficient normative justification for why we should accept our acne. But I cannot imagine that anyone who deals with the chronic burden of taking antibiotics, applying acid-laced topicals, and restricting their diet to boiled beans and vegetables is going to be comforted by the vaguest possibility that their GPA may increase. I may be vain, but I can safely say that the practical utility of a potential boost in grades does not outweigh my desire to find a treatment for my condition.

And having heard from other people who are also struggling to accept their physical dis-

figuration due to acne, I am equally certain that I am not alone in my preference order.

I also believe that the “good grades” justification represents a major contributing factor to hormonal acne for some students like myself.

From what I’ve been told by several doctors, acne is part of a larger and vicious stressrelated cycle that takes over its victims’s lives. Initial academic stress and pressure lead to hormonal imbalances in stressed out, overworked students, causing their acne.

Their initial acne flare-up then adds to their emotional stress that later continues to fuel their continual breakouts.

No products, diets, or medical procedures can alleviate their condition. The cycle continues unchecked until they are able to identify techniques for dealing with stressors like school and work. Ironically, Wong’s flippant positive endorsement of academic focus may be entirely misplaced.

Furthermore, although I can’t dispute the evidence that Wong cites, I want to provide another contrary perspective as someone who represents the epitome of an acne-riddled, stressed-out student. I’ve found that cystic acne, at least in my case, has not provided me any motivation to concentrate on schoolwork. I am more than convinced that the pain of my acne, compounded with my incessant worries about other people’s negative perceptions of my appearance, has only forced me to avoid focusing on school in order to

worry about my physical and emotional health. Add to the mix sleep-inducing antihistamines, an hour-long hygiene regime twice daily, and constant doctors’ visits, and lately I’ve had barely enough energy to even glance at my readings.

Thus, I fail to see how the evidence cited in Wong’s article can provide comfort to someone in my position who does not identify with its overly optimistic, morale-boosting narrative.

Ultimately, I applaud writers like Wong for trying to avoid the trap of painting acne as a stigma. However, I think it is time that the dialogue surrounding acne move past citing generalized, specious evidence for why acne victims should simply accept their condition. There’s no reason why we should satisfy ourselves with a one-size-fits-all, Pollyanna-esque explanation that misleadingly picks out supposed good features about what often feels like an objectively bad, insidious condition to its victims. We shouldn’t pooh-pooh our reactions to acne-related symptoms or spend any more time aimlessly searching for a logical justification for acne when there is none to be found. Instead, what we need now are more open conversations about how to manage and combat the deeply personal, complex problems that acne presents.

Tigers give up two goal lead, fall to Brown 3–2 in women’s soccer

By Tom Salotti

Associate Sports Editor

Women’s soccer was defeated by Brown University on Saturday, Oct. 6, giving up a two-goal lead to end up losing 2–3 on Sherrerd Field. A light rain persisted throughout the game, causing slippery conditions and a fast-moving ball.

In the 13th minute a free kick by sophomore defender Lucy Rickerson was deflected by a Brown player, only to have the ball arc over the Brown keeper’s head and into the back of the net.

Four minutes later, senior forward Mimi Asom added to the Tigers’ momentum. After a through ball from junior Tomi Kennedy, Asom cut left and hit a beautiful shot with the outside of her right foot. The ball sailed into the bottom left corner, bringing Princeton’s lead to 2–0.

However, the Tigers’ clean sheet didn’t last. Three minutes before the half, Brown midfielder Rebecca Rosen scored off of a throw-in play, earning Brown their first of three goals.

In the first half, Princeton outshot Brown 6–3. Both teams had four fouls, while Brown had two corners and one save to Princeton’s none before halftime.

One minute after the game resumed, Asom hit a rocket at the Brown goal, but it was saved by keeper Maria Guer-

rero.

Three minutes later, in the forty-ninth minute, Brown forward Abby Carchio hit a fast free kick on the ground from outside the box on the left side, evading Princeton defenders. Brown forward Star White tapped the ball into the goal, bringing the game to a tie.

With a little more than 10 minutes left in the game, Brown’s Claire Myers gained control of the ball and shot on target. The ball slipped past

Princeton’s keeper, junior Natalie Grossi, earning Brown its final and winning goal of the game.

The Orange and Black dominated the second half (statistically), with a whopping 13 shots to Brown’s three. Despite these repeated efforts in the second half to bring the Tigers back into the running, Princeton could not get anything past Brown’s Guerrero. She finished the game with five saves, while Grossi finished with one.

In the second half, the Ti-

gers also had six corner kick attempts to Brown’s one, and six fouls to Brown’s two.

This weekend’s game coincided with the University’s “She Roars” conference, which brought University alumni from all over the world back to campus to celebrate “the impact women have had on the University and their communities.”

stopped by the match in order to support the team. The three women were on the first ever women’s varsity soccer team, which began in the fall of 1980.

The head coach was Bob Malekoff, but the formation of the team was the result of efforts

by Don Betterton, former University Director of Financial Aid, who would become assistant coach. The women have fond memories of their time as student athletes.

“We used to play at a field that was at least six blocks from here, we would have to jog through the neighborhood to get to practice,” Smith recalled. “But we still went on the [Ivy League] championship.”

In that championship, Princeton lost to Brown. They had gone 6–0 in the Ivy League, only to fall to their opponents in the final. Saturday’s game seemed like something of a flashback.

“I can remember the Brown game, they were really good.

Everyone was good, but they were a top team.”

Next Sunday, the team will head to Columbia University.

The game is part of a rivalry for Princeton — Columbia is the only Ivy League team that the Tigers lost to last season.

On Oct. 20, Princeton will host Harvard at home, their first game in Roberts Stadium.

The team currently sits fifth in the Ivy League, behind Columbia but ahead of Brown.

FOOTBALL

Football annihilates Lehigh 66–7 in nonconference finale on Saturday

By Jack Graham

Head Sports Editor

It was a historic day for Princeton football (4–0 overall, 1–0 Ivy League) in its nonconference finale Saturday afternoon against Lehigh (1–3). Senior quarterback John Lovett accounted for 399 yards of offense, seven different players scored touchdowns, and Princeton scored its most points since 1950 in a blowout 66–7 win.

“I thought our effort was outstanding on both sides of the ball,” said head coach Bob Surace ’90.

Despite the lopsided final score, Lehigh put up a resistance in the early part of the game. Princeton scored first on a 52-yard run by senior running back Charlie Volker, but Lehigh forced a fumble from sophomore wide receiver Jacob Birmelin later in the quarter and scored on fourth-down touchdown pass to tie the game at seven. Despite that moment of strength the Mountain Hawks quickly found themselves outmatched as Princeton began to move the ball with ease. Sophomore running

back Collin Eaddy scored on a shovel pass from the Lehigh 10-yard line early in the second quarter, and Lovett found junior wide receiver Tiger Bech wide open downfield for a 70yard touchdown pass to make the score 21–7. Volker scored his second TD on a 1-yard rush, and Princeton kicked a short field goal at the end of the half to take a 31–7 lead into halftime.

“I felt like we were in a great rhythm offensively, and we were getting threeand-outs,” Surace said of his team’s second quarter play. “When you score and get the ball back quickly, it puts you in good position.”

Things would not get any better for Lehigh in the second half. Princeton received the kickoff to open the half and took only a minute to score another touchdown, with Lovett first finding senior wide receiver Steve Carlson for a 43-yard pass and rushing it in for a 16-yard touchdown two plays later. Princeton pulled its starters midway through the third quarter, but the backups kept up the onslaught. Junior

third-string running back Ryan Quigley scored two touchdowns as Princeton cruised to the 59-point win.

While Princeton’s offense was running laps around the Lehigh defense, the Tiger defense contained the Mountain Hawk offense throughout the day. They held standout Lehigh running back Dom Bragalone to 55 yards on 22 carries and forced two turnovers off Lehigh quarterback Brad Mayes.

At one point, Mayes, who completed 16 of 33 passes for just 133 yards, ran off the field in frustration ahead of the rest of the Lehigh offense after an incompletion on third down in the third quarter.

“There was a big emphasis on stopping the run, and we did really well against a great running back,” said junior defensive end Joey DeMarco, who sacked Mayes and forced a fumble in the second quarter. “Every time the offense might falter, we want to step up and show that we’re a great defense.”

“To hold Bragalone to under 60 yards, that’s im-

pressive,” Surace added.

Offensively, Princeton had the chance to showcase its staggering number of options. Their three main rushing threats, Lovett, Volker, and Eaddy, combined for 238 yards despite sitting much of the second half.

“We’ve got two guys [Eaddy and Volker] that we feel great about,” Surace said about Princeton’s running attack. “Obviously John [Lovett] ran it very well as well.”

Princeton’s top two receivers, Carlson and senior Jesper Horsted, combined for 171 yards, and Bech, who was Princeton’s third leading receiver last year but had no catches coming into the game, finished with 79 yards and a touchdown. Princeton’s most potent threat, of course, is its dual-threat quarterback, who was 20 of 28 passing with 288 yards and two touchdowns and rushed 12 times for 118 yards and another touchdown. “[Lovett] is definitely a threat in more ways than one,” Volker said. “He’s fun to play on the field with.”

Given that all of Princeton’s four games so far have been blowout wins, the only concern that the team may have is a possible lack of preparation for an inevitable close game in Ivy League play. With that said, Princeton will still be looking for ways to improve.

“A lot of people will be saying things about the scores and saying we’re unstoppable,” Volker said.

“But if you look back at the film, there’s a couple plays where we looked sloppy and definitely a lot of room for potential growth.”

Surace, who is never complacent, also saw a series of holding penalties in the first half as a blemish on Princeton’s commanding win.

“We were making mistakes that were uncharacteristic,” he said.

Princeton remains at home next week to take on Brown (1–3, 0–1) in its Ivy League home opener as conference play enters full swing. If the Tigers continue to improve from their dominant early season form, the rest of the league should be worried.
