Ivy Home Schedule For Men's Soccer Begins With Columbia Saturday Afternoon
October 11, 2007 | Men's Soccer
The first of three Ivy League home games for the Princeton men's soccer team comes Saturday when Columbia visits Powers Field at 4 p.m. The Princeton soccer teams will also host doubleheaders against Cornell (Oct. 27) and Yale (Nov. 11) here later this season.
Saturday's game will be streamed live as part of the Tiger Zone, and live in-game stats via the XOS Gamewatcher will also be available.
Both Princeton (2-7-1, 0-1 Ivy) and Columbia (2-6-1, 0-1 Ivy) fell victim to second-half comebacks in their Ivy League openers last weekend.
The Tigers got an early second-half goal from Teddy Schneider to take a 1-0 lead at Brown, but the Bears scored in the final minutes of regulation and then in overtime to win 2-1. The Lions had a 1-0 halftime lead against Penn at home, but the Quakers scored three times early in the second half and won the game 3-2.
Princeton hasn't lost to Columbia since the 2002 season. The Tigers earned 1-0 wins against the Lions in both 2004 and 2005, while last season's game in New York and a 2003 game at Lourie-Love Field both ended in ties.
Both Schneider and Kyle McHugh have three goals this season for Princeton, which has outshot its opponents this year. Hayden Johns and Tom Smith each have two goals for Columbia.
McHugh scored a goal for Princeton with just 35 seconds left in regulation to give the Tigers a 2-2 tie at Columbia last year. The Lions had gone ahead just 27 seconds earlier on a goal by Smith.
The Tigers are unbeaten in their last three home games, wins against Adelphi and Fairleigh Dickinson and an earlier tie against Monmouth.
Princeton will play just one more non-conference game this season, Wednesday night at regionally-ranked St. John's, which is also receiving votes in the national poll. The Red Storm defeated Princeton 1-0 last season at Lourie-Love Field in a game that was halted for more than an hour by lightning, thunder and heavy rain.
Columbia's wins this season came against Central Connecticut at home and at American last week. Leo Chappel is in his second season as the Lions' head coach. He replaced long-time head man Dieter Ficken, who coached the Lions for 27 seasons.
