    MEN'S LACROSSE GRABS NATIONAL TITLE IN OVERTIME
    Jesse Hubbard's goal gives Princeton a 13-12 win over Virginia

    Midafternoon on May 27, after it was all over, coach Bill Tierney sat at a table and talked about it. He considered his latest victory, a 13-12 overtime triumph over a stellar Virginia team, then thought back to his last two national titles, won in overtime against Syracuse in 1992 and against Virginia in 1994. He said things like: "This win is not about coaching. This isn't about how I feel. It's about the kind of young men who come to Princeton University."
    But an hour earlier, during the Tigers' pitched battle with the Cavaliers on a drowned grass field in College Park, Maryland, there were times when it appeared he couldn't move, much less speak. Squatting on the sideline, it looked as though he-like many a Princeton fan-were merely praying his team could stop Virginia, a squad that never doubted it could win.
    But in the fourth quarter, after Princeton had given up its lead and its momentum to the Cavaliers, Tierney showed he wasn't about to rely on divine intervention. When Virginia scored early in the fourth quarter to go ahead, 9-8, the coach made a change at the goalkeeper position for the second straight game, replacing starting goalie Patrick Cairns '97 with team captain Pancho Gutstein '96. And down the stretch, Gutstein kept the Cavaliers' deadly offense (which included all-America attacks Michael Watson and Doug Knight) from ending the Tigers' season, even though Virginia stormed the goal several times and came back from a three-goal deficit to tie the game.
    Tierney praised Virginia, calling the Cavaliers "as classy, talented, and well coached a team as there is." And Gutstein, who turned the game's momentum back to Princeton, also paid indirect tribute to the Cavaliers and their intimidating, prolific offense. When a reporter asked him at what point in the fourth quarter he felt comfortable in the goal cage, he replied, "I can tell you exactly when I felt comfortable. When Jesse got the winning shot. That's when I was comfortable."
    Before that, Gutstein had good reason to worry. The Tigers couldn't seem to clear the ball from their end of the field, heaving it wildly away from their goal rather than advancing upfield and trying to run out the clock. Time after time, Virginia would scoop up the ball, race back to Princeton's end of the field, and take another shot on goal.
    Said Tierney, "To be honest, our kids didn't have any legs left. We were just trying to get a cheap score, trying to get the ball up to Jesse [Hubbard] or Jon [Hess], and the ball skimmed a couple of times." Princeton was just three for eight on clears in the quarter. But Princeton's defense played well enough to keep Virginia from taking easy shots, and Gutstein snagged the shots that the Cavaliers did take.
    With two minutes left, Princeton got the ball down near Virginia's goal, but the tired Tigers managed only one good shot, which midfielder Jeff Macbean '96 threw over the goal with less than a minute remaining.
    But after regulation time had expired, Princeton seemed to get its legs back. When the teams lined up to start the sudden-death overtime, midfielder James Mitchell '97 leaned over the ball at midfield and managed to win the Tigers' 19th faceoff of the day. (He and classmate Dennis Kramer, also a middie, outscrambled Virginia throughout the game, getting 10 more faceoffs than the Cavaliers.) Princeton immediately called timeout to set up a play.
    "I'm sure we wouldn't have won if Mitchell hadn't gotten that faceoff," said Tierney. "He and Kramer may not be all-Americans, but you don't have a team with all-Americans if those two guys don't win faceoffs."
    Half a minute into overtime, Hubbard cut off a screen from midfielder Jason Osier '97, got the ball from freshman attack Lorne Smith, and slung a low, bouncing shot toward the goal. It skipped just to the left of Virginia goalie Chris Sanderson into the goal and gave Princeton its third title in five years.
    "I curled around [Osier's screen] and tried to get a shot off," said Hubbard. "It's a pretty basic play, but still hard to defend." The goal, which was Hubbard's third of the game, was also the quickest gamewinner of the seven overtimes in NCAA finals history.
    The loss crushed the Cavaliers, several of whom fell to the wet turf in disappointment. At the postgame press conference, a grim-faced Dom Starsia, Virginia's coach, said "I'm not usually an emotional guy; I don't show it very much. But this is very difficult . . . I don't know why these things work out sometimes. The difference in an overtime game is a whisper in terms of play."
    Two days earlier, the semifinal against Syracuse was just as dramatic. Princeton clobbered the Orangemen early in the game, shooting ahead 7-1. With three minutes left in the first half, it looked as if the Tigers would waltz into the championship game with another easy win. On May 18, they had demolished Towson State, 22-6, in the NCAA quarterfinals at Rutgers.
    But Syracuse was not intimidated and soon loosed a counterattack. With 2:25 on the first-half clock, one of its stars, attack Casey Powell, scored the Orangemen's second goal of the game. Thirty-eight seconds later, his teammate Rob Kovovit got their third. And at halftime, Tierney said, "the team was in a funk. . . . I thought Syracuse was about to come at them, and they did."
    Near the end of the third quarter, Princeton had scored but one goal to Syracuse's four. Leading by just a goal, 8-7, the Tigers found themselves searching for a way to keep their scrambling, hard-hitting opponents from sending them home for a second straight year. When Syracuse tied the score at eight with less than a minute left in the third, it was clear that many in the crowd thought Princeton was finished. The Tigers managed the first goal of the fourth quarter, but the Orangemen answered with a goal 1:45 later.
    That's when Tierney went for the bench again, lifting Cairns for Gutstein with 12:04 left. When Tierney made the signal, Cairns said he was "surprised," but admitted, "You do start to doubt yourself" after letting in a few goals. Making a change at the goalkeeper position makes the team do a "gut check," he added. "Everyone on the team has to look at what they're doing."
    As Gutstein ran past Cairns and into the game, he said, "Be ready to come back in." Cairns had just enough time to take a sip of water when Gutstein got his first test, a hard shot high and stickside. But he snagged the ball in his stick. That save, and a beautiful breakaway goal by Ben Strutt '97, turned the tide. With another Tiger goal (scored by Chris Massey '98) and with the help of two Syracuse penalties-for too many men on the field and for a slash-Princeton secured its berth in the championship.
    Tierney's third national title in five years, each of which came in overtime, turned his sideline prayers-if prayers they were-into words of thanksgiving. "How can you thank anyone but God and your lucky stars to win three overtime games like this?" he said. And running a hand across his head, he added, "I've got to find another line of work. This overtime stuff is getting out of hand."

    ATLANTA BOUND?
    On June 17, Scott Anderson '96 added an impressive logistical feat to his athletic credits: he ran in a 1,500-meter heat at the Olympic trials, flew back to Princeton, and carried the torch through town the next day. But Anderson's classmate, Gabriella Salick '96, can top that. Since December she's been shuttling between Princeton and Florida, where she trains with the hope of getting a show-jumping spot on the U.S. equestrian team.
    Anderson and Salick are two of about a dozen student-athletes and coaches who have been juggling their lives at Princeton with Olympic dreams, keeping up a tradition that dates to the first modern games in Athens, Greece, a century ago. If they make the team, these seniors will join at least two alumni athletes on the U.S. team: Lynn Jennings '83, who won the 5,000-meter race at the U.S. trials in Atlanta, and Joseph LeMay '89, who finished second in the 10,000 meters to provisionally make the team-at press time, he still had to run a qualifying time to guarantee his spot. (For more on the Olympics, click HERE.)
    For the seniors aiming for Atlanta, reading period (in late May) offered a break in an intense schedule. "Post-thesis life is definitely good for training," said Anderson, an economics major. Salick, a classics major, crafted her semester around her thesis. She spent Mondays and Tuesdays in class and then flew to Florida and worked on her paper between training sessions. "My adviser got a lot of packages from Federal Express," she said.
    For a few students, being in Princeton actually put them closer to Atlanta than they would have been if they were at home. Ugwunna Ikpeowo '96 hopes to compete in the long jump for Nigeria; Daphne Hernandez '98 will dive for Costa Rica.
    Princetonians have also contributed on the sidelines as athletic trainers, team doctors, and coaches. This year Fred Samara, head track and field and cross country coach, is getting ready for his fourth Olympics, his third as coach of the decathlon team. Twenty years ago the Penn alumnus competed in the event and placed second for the United States, after gold medalist Bruce Jenner.
    Men's crew coaches Curtis Jordan and Mike Teti will head to Atlanta after a year of training Olympic hopefuls for a new event: men's lightweight four-without-coxswain. Joining them in Atlanta will be Kevin Cotter '96 and Sean Kammann '98, who are potential Olympic alternates.
    Women's swim coach Susan Teeter-Eggert is serving as manager of the 63-member U.S. swimming team. She has spent 18 months working the phones to book hotels and practice sites and plan menus so the athletes "only have to worry about swimming fast."

    MEN'S CREWS SWAMP ALL COMERS, WIN NATIONAL TITLES
    A season of mixed results climaxed June 1, with Princeton's men's crews emphatically stating their case for consideration as the top collegiate rowing program in the nation. After suffering dual losses to Harvard and Brown and finishing third at the Eastern Sprints earlier in the season, the heavyweight varsity eight capped a historic afternoon for the Tigers at the 94th Intercollegiate Rowing Association's national championships by defeating a strong field at Cooper River Park, in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The victory followed wins by coach Curtis Jordan's second varsity eights, Joe Murtaugh's lightweights, and Mike Teti's freshman eights, an unheard-of achievement for Princeton at the IRAs and the first time any single school had won those four races, said Jordan, "since 1973, when I was rowing.''
    "I told the guys beforehand, 'You've seen what the competition is like. We could finish fifth in all of them or we could win all of them,' " said Jordan.
    The next weekend, the Tigers' varsity eights traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio, for the National Collegiate Rowing Championships-at one time considered the true national championships before the IRAs gained that distinction-and won the men's race over Pennsylvania. At the same regatta, Princeton's women's crew defeated both Wisconsin and Washington State to win the second-varsity final, while the varsity eights finished second behind archrival Brown in the championship race.
    Prior to the IRAs, Jordan had seen his varsity eights perform inconsistently during the season. This he blamed partly on his own involvement with the Olympic trials, a commitment that forced him to split his days between the Olympic training center and his regular coaching duties. After Princeton lost a dual race to Brown in early May, however, Jordan shifted his focus to the Tigers, and the extra attention paid off at the IRAs, where each crew seemed to feed off the accomplishments of the others, building to a crescendo by the time the varsity heavies took to the water for the afternoon's final race.
    It started with the freshman eights. Princeton trailed California and Washington through 500 meters, then made a strong move and took the lead by a neck at 600 meters. California stayed with the Tigers for a spell, but eventually fell off the pace. The second varsity race followed a similar script, though this time Wisconsin took the early lead before the Tigers took control with 500 meters to go and prevailed, 5:41.7 to 5:43.0. The Tigers' time was three-tenths of a second off the course record for the event.
    The undefeated lightweights broke the pattern. Bow Scott Wisenbaker '98, Tom Fernandez '97, Pavel Streber '96, Dave Larson '98, Kevin Cotter '96, Dave Digilio '96, Matt Lawson '96, stroke Greg Hughes '96, and cox Justin McCrary '96 rowed like madmen and covered the first 1,000 meters in a blistering 2:40. They couldn't shake Harvard, however, and the two boats bore down on the finish line in a virtual dead heat. In a photo finish, Princeton edged the Crimson by virtue of having surged forward just as the finish line approached. The official margin of victory was two-hundredths of a second, or about 12 inches. "I guess we had our oars in the water at the right time,'' Murtaugh said after viewing the officials' videotape of the race. "You have to credit Harvard. We had a length on them and they stuck us several times.''
    The varsity race was a pitched battle between Princeton and Washington. The Huskies held a half-length lead before Princeton drew even with 200 meters left. The Tigers then pulled away to win in an astonishing 5:29.6 -a full two seconds faster than Brown's time last year, when there was a more substantial tailwind.
    "This is the fastest race I've ever been in," coxswain Dave Khoury '96 said. "We've had some slight disappointments at the IRA the last couple of years, but this turned out to be all I could have asked for." Joining him in the Tigers' boat were Martin Crotty '96, Colin Farmer '96, Bob Hall '96, Tim Richter '97, Morgan Crooks '98, Ted Carson '97, Steve Markle '96, and stroke Chris Ahrens '98. "In my peripheral vision, I saw their coxswain level with me, and I thought, 'We're going to have to empty the tank to win this one,' " Hall said. "But once we took the lead, I knew no one would walk back on us.''
    Hall was one of two rowers Jordan moved up to the first boat late in the season in an effort to substitute quickness for power. The move also ended up fulfilling a goal of Hall's. "I was the only one in the boat who hadn't won a major championship,'' Hall said. "This was my last shot.'' In a miracle of modern scoring, Navy won the men's overall title, besting Princeton, 325.7-323.2.
    At Cincinnati, bow Heather Harnly '96, Allison Schiffmann '96, Katherine Hays '98, Leslie Gewin '97, Stephanie Gregg '96, Sarah Ryerson '97, Rebecca Greene '96, Cherylyn Brandt '96, and cox Audrey McAdams '97 outrowed crews from Wisconsin, Washington, Massachusetts, and Virginia but fell short of Brown, which had also defeated them twice earlier in the season. "The race itself couldn't have been any better, as far as the quality of effort," Princeton coach Dan Roock said. "We're just not physically as strong as we have been in the last couple of years."

    RULE BOOK HANDS LOSS TO WOMEN'S LAX
    It was the kind of shot, Abigail Gutstein '96 would say later, that she expects to make 100 percent of the time. Then, she amended herself: "I guess 99 percent, since I missed this one." Gutstein's free-position shot at an untended goal whizzed inches wide with 1:34 remaining, taking with it what Princeton (12-3 overall, 6-0 Ivy) had hoped would be a signature upset in the NCAA Division I lacrosse semifinals against number-one Maryland (18-0), the defending national champion.
    As Princeton coach Chris Sailer remarked, "We were probably the only people in the stadium that thought we could beat them." The Tigers might have won, if not for a seldominvoked rule that wiped out what would have been the tying goal by Gutstein. Instead, the senior attack, who had kept Princeton in the game with two secondhalf goals, missed the mark on a free-position after an official made the controversial call, and the Terrapins hung on for a 6-5 victory at Lehigh University's Murray H. Goodman Stadium, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on May 18.
    It was a crushing ending to a game in which Princeton barely resembled the team that had been overmatched by Maryland in the teams' last two meetings, in the 1995 NCAA final (when Princeton lost 13-5) and on May 1 of this year at Princeton (when the Tigers lost 14-7). "I thought we played a hell of a game," Sailer said. "We didn't play scared."
    That was evident in the game's first 10 seconds. During that span, Maryland's Caryl Duckworth scooped the opening draw and sped downfield on a breakaway. It was eerily reminiscent of last year's title game, when Kelly Amonte scored in the first eight seconds on a similar play. "I was thinking, 'I've seen this before. They've done that before to us,' " said goalie Erin O'Neill '96.
    This time, however, O'Neill stuffed the shot and kept on stuffing practically everything else the Terps threw at her for the next 60 minutes. Aided by a swarming defense that held Amonte in check and continually frustrated her high-scoring cohorts, the senior cocaptain was spectacular. "Erin played the game of her life," said Sailer. "As a senior, there's no better way to go out than that."
    That surely is of little consolation to O'Neill and the rest of the Tigers, who took a 3-1 lead into intermission on two goals by sophomore Cristi Samaras. Samaras epitomized the Tigers' brazenness when she chased the fleet Amonte for 40 yards, disrupting a breakaway attempt early in the game.
    The Tigers caught a bad break in the second half, however, when a rebound of a shot taken by Amonte was inadvertently deflected into the goal with 20 minutes remaining and Princeton leading, 3-2. If that was a cruel twist, it was dwarfed by what came later.
    Senior cocaptain Lisa Rebane found Gutstein in front to make the score 4-4, but Amonte, the NCAA's alltime assist leader, fed Dana Gwaltney to pull the Terps even with 17 minutes left. The teams traded goals, by Gutstein and Maryland's Liz Downing, to make it 55. Then, with 4:29 left, Sascha Newmarch gave Maryland a 6-5 lead.
    When Sarah Forbes stripped Princeton's Casey Coleman '97 of the ball with 2:40 left, all Maryland needed to do was hold onto the ball.
    But Coleman somehow managed to knock it free from goalie Jamie Brodsky and get a pass to Gutstein, who was bearing down on the net.
    Gutstein's shot hit the back of the net, creating temporary hysteria on the field and in the stands. But the goal was whistled off when the referee determined that Maryland's Randall Goldsborough (who later said she'd acted with intent) had been in the goal circle, a violation of Rule 17.C.1. Gutstein was given a free shot from eight yards away and with Brodsky out of her goal. On this occasion, the shot was more difficult than it appeared.
    "I had to keep it away from Jamie, so I couldn't shoot it to the right because I knew she'd get her stick in there," Gutstein said. She shot left, and wide.
    The Tigers got one more opportunity with 23 seconds remaining, but Rebane lost the ball, and the Terps ran out the clock.
    "That's the way the rule is written," Sailer said. "Unfortunately, it happened to us at a bad time."

    SURPRISING BASEBALL WINS IVY TITLE; SOFTBALL MAKES SERIES; SPRING WRAPUP
    Nobody gave the baseball team (26-21 overall, 13-7 Ivy) much of a chance for an Ivy title heading into this season, and with good reason. Princeton had been mired in mediocrity for four years and was returning only two experienced starting pitchers to a team that had finished 8-12 in the league. Before the season started, Baseball America picked Princeton to finish last in the Ivy League's Gehrig Division. But with eight games remaining in the league season, a powerful, senior-dominated lineup and an unproven group of pitchers decided they wouldn't let the season end that way. Over the next month, the Tigers would face nine games they would have to win to keep their title hopes alive. They won all of them, winning the Ivy title and a berth in the South I NCAA Regional, and making 1996 "a season to remember," according to coach Tom O'Connell.
    Princeton first demonstrated its resilience April 20 and 21, in two home doubleheaders against Penn. In a four-game sweep, Princeton demolished the Quakers, finishing with double-digit run totals in three of the four games and outscoring Penn by a combined-runs total of 36-12. It was the first time Princeton had swept one doubleheader from Penn-let alone two-since 1987. The sweep thrust the Tigers into a first-place tie in the Gehrig Division and set up a one-game playoff with the Quakers. In that game, held in Philadelphia on May 9, in the bottom of the ninth, the Tigers, who had relied on their power all season, manufactured a run on just one hit to pull out the win. Tommy Hage '96 singled and advanced to second on Mike Ciminiello '96's first sacrifice bunt of the season. Then Michael Keck '97 and Pete Silletti '96 walked, and Hage scored on a sacrifice fly by Mike Hazen '98.
    The win gave Princeton its first-ever Gehrig Division championship. But to capture its first Ivy League championship since 1991, the Tigers still had to best Rolfe Division winner Harvard in a best-of-three championship series. In dramatically differing ways, the Tigers won two straight to end the Crimson's season. In the first game, Princeton jumped out to a 10-0 lead, taking advantage of numerous walks and errors from Harvard with some timely hitting. The Tigers won going away, 15-6. In the second game, Princeton's offense could only muster a first-inning run on Ciminiello's sacrifice fly, but pitcher Brian Volpp '97 made that run stand up. He grew stronger as the game continued, retiring the Crimson in order in both the eighth and the ninth. He recorded the last out on a pop-up to secure the 1-0 victory seconds before a late-afternoon storm hit the field.
    Then Princeton took on Rider in a best-of-three NCAA play-in series most felt it had little chance to win. The Northeast Conference-champion Broncs had rolled through the NEC playoffs and boasted several pitchers among national ERA leaders. But again showing its resilience, Princeton erased Bronc leads in both games; swept the series, 9-6 and 7-6; and got its bid to the NCAAs.
    Princeton's heart wasn't enough to overcome the talent of its opponents in the South I Regional of the NCAA tournament, May 23-26 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Pitchers from major-conference schools Alabama and Virginia overwhelmed the Tigers' hitters, and they couldn't contain the offense of either team. After losing 19-2 to Alabama, Princeton was eliminated by Virginia, 12-2.
    SOFTBALL (44-7-1 overall, 11-1 Ivy): League championships may be becoming old hat for coach Cindy Cohen and her softball team. Cohen, who has won Ivy titles in 12 of her 14 seasons as head coach, steered Princeton to its third consecutive league title and returned to the Women's College World Series for the second straight year. The Tigers advanced to the World Series by winning the Northeast Regional tournament, held May 17-19 in Amherst, Massachusetts.
    But the Tigers had a disappointing trip to the Series, May 23-27 in Columbus, Georgia. After falling in its first game to top-seeded Washington, 7-1, Princeton was shut out by Southwestern Louisiana, 7-0. "We felt we could perform better than we did," Cohen said. "We just had a bad weekend against good teams, and you can't do that."
    Ironically, the elements that had propelled Princeton to its three wins in the Northeast Regional-solid defense and the pitching of Maureen Davies '97-betrayed the Tigers in their two losses at the Series. Davies struggled in Columbus, pitching a combined 6@/3 innings over the two games; she allowed eight earned runs, and gave up 15 hits. In both games, Cohen took her out in favor of Lynn Miller '99. "Davies didn't throw her best," Cohen said, "[but] I say 'So what.' We wouldn't have gotten where we were without her." The Tigers were also subpar defensively. Against Washington, Miller entered in the second inning with Princeton down 3-0 and kept the Tigers in the game. In the sixth, trailing just 3-1 (the run came on a homer from Mandy Pfeiffer '97), the Tigers defense "fell apart," in the words of Cohen, allowing Washington to get four runs and put the game out of reach.
    Despite losing in the Series, Princeton still felt it overachieved, considering that several players from the 1995 team graduated, including Ivy League Pitcher of the Year Kristi Jelinek, star shortstop and team leader Jen Babik, and all-league catcher Tara Pignoli. Princeton, which lost its first five games before winning an NCAA record 37 in a row, had difficulty finding a set lineup early in the season as Cohen tried six different players at shortstop. Eventually, she settled on Tara Christie '97, and the Tigers turned their season around.
    MEN'S TRACK: Coming off a Heptagonals championship in which it tallied 182 points, obliterating the record for the most points ever scored, the men's track team continued its success at both the IC4A and NCAA championships. In its best finish since 1985, Princeton took third place at IC4As and had two competitors earn all-America honors at the subsequent NCAA championships. Alex Kolovyansky '96 and Royce Reed '99 led Princeton at IC4As, with Kolovyansky winning the discus and Reed taking second in the 400-meter run. The Tigers' third-place finish was impressive considering there were more than a hundred schools competing at the event. "This may be the strongest track team we've ever had at Princeton," men's coach Fred Samara said. "It was a phenomenal year. We were undefeated in dual meets."
    MEN'S TENNIS (18-7 overall, 6-3 Ivy): The men were surprised to receive a bid to the NCAA East Regional despite their mediocre record in the Ivy League. At the regional, they almost upset top-seeded and 11th-ranked Florida. Princeton took the doubles point and Brook Hazelton '96 won his singles match in straight sets. But the Tigers could not capture the team victory. Number-one Reed Cordish '96 and number-six Gene Katz '97 dropped tight, three-set matches, and Florida escaped with a 4-2 win.
