Princeton Travels To Manhattan In Men's Lacrosse
March 08, 2010 | Men's Lacrosse
Princeton plays the second game of its four-games-in-11-days stretch when it travels to New York City for a Tuesday afternoon game against Manhattan.
Princeton and Manhattan have met once before, last year at Class of 1952 Stadium in a game that the Tigers won 15-6.
Princeton enters the game ranked fifth by the media and sixth by the coaches.
* * *
Princeton led 4-2 at the end of the first quarter, 8-4 at halftime and 12-4 at the end of the third quarter in last year's win over Manhattan. Rob Engelke had three goals and two assists for five points, a career-high that he tied in the season opener this year against Hofstra.
Scott MacKenzie had career highs of three goals and four points in the 2009 Manhattan game.
* * *
Princeton has opened the 2010 season with back-to-back wins in which both teams have reached double figures. The last time Princeton played back-to-back games in which both teams reached double figures was in 2002, when the Tigers defeated Brown 12-10 in the regular season finale and Georgetown 14-13 in the NCAA quarterfinals.
Princeton has played eight full quarters this season, and Princeton and its two opponents (Hofstra and Hopkins) have scored at least one goal in 15 of those 16 quarters (and at least three goals in 11 of those 16).
The only time one team was scoreless for a quarter in the first two games was when Johns Hopkins did not score in the second quarter.
* * *
Princeton plays Syracuse, Hofstra and Cornell each year (sometimes more than once a year), and those teams obviously are located in New York. Princeton also played Adelphi in the mid-'90s and Army from the 1930s through the '70s.
It's been awhile since Princeton has played a game in the New York City limits, however.
The Princeton lacrosse schedule used to be dotted with games against athletic clubs, rather than other colleges. The last time Princeton played in New York City was in 1925, with a game at the Crescent Athletic Club in Brooklyn. The last time Princeton played another college team in New York City was in 1922, when the Tigers played at New York University, which was actually the first college to have a lacrosse team.
Princeton lacrosse played its first game in 1881, and its four-game schedule included a game at NYU. The Tigers fielded a team from 1881-1893 and then took 26 years off from the sport, and Princeton routinely played club teams (and sometimes Harvard) in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Manhattan.
The first college lacrosse game, of course, was on Nov. 22, 1877, between NYU and Manhattan.
* * *
Princeton has scored 28 goals on 76 shots through two games, a shooting percentage of .368.
The school record for shooting percentage in a season is .359, set in 1996 (235 goals, 655 shots).
* * *
Jeff Froccaro has done something that no other Princeton freshman before him ever did: He scored seven goals in his first two college games.
In fact, before Froccaro, the record for goals in the first two games by a Princeton freshman was three, set several times, most recently by current senior Rob Engelke. Froccaro has reached that in each game, with three against Hofstra and four more against Hopkins.
The fastest any Princeton freshman ever previously reached seven goals was four games. Justin Tortolani, who graduated in 1992 as the all-time leader in goals scored at Princeton with 120 (he stands fourth now, having been passed by Jesse Hubbard, Chris Massey and Sean Hartofilis) and is now a pediatric surgeon, had two goals in his first two games and then scored four in his third game and one his fourth.
The record for goals in a game by a Princeton freshman is six, set by Jack McBride two years ago against Penn (on six shots).
Froccaro's fast start has earned him the first two Ivy League Rookie of the Week awards, as well as the Player of the Game award from the media at the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic.
Froccaro has come back from two torn ACLs, including one in his final high school game last spring. He has scored his seven goals on just nine shots, and six of his seven goals have come in the second half.
He also won 6 of 18 face-offs in his first game and then improved to win 10 of 17 against Johns Hopkins, including the face-off to start overtime.
* * *
Princeton and Johns Hopkins split their four Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic meetings in somewhat palindromic fashion.
Johns Hopkins won the first one in 2007 in double overtime 7-6 and then blew out Princeton 14-9 in 2008 in a game that Hopkins led 11-1 at one point. In 2009, Princeton blew out Hopkins 14-8, building a 9-1 lead along the way. The Tigers then won in overtime Saturday, winning 11-10 on Scott MacKenzie's goal 59 seconds into the extra session.
The Face-Off Classic tripleheader Saturday, which drew 19,742 to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, saw Maryland defeat Duke 11-10 in overtime, Princeton defeat Hopkins 11-10 in overtime and Notre Dame defeat Loyola 11-9. The Maryland-Duke game went to overtime when Duke rallied to tie it with 13 seconds left; the Princeton-Hopkins game went to overtime when Hopkins rallied to tie it with14 seconds left.
Virginia then defeated Syracuse Sunday, also by an 11-10 score.
Before UVa's win over Syracuse, Princeton had been the last team to defeat the Orange.
* * *
Jack McBride has 11 career assists, and two of those 11 have come in overtime. McBride set up Tommy Davis to beat Penn last year, and it was his pass to Scott MacKenzie that led to the winning goal Saturday against Hopkins.
MacKenzie is the only current Princeton player to score an overtime goal.
* * *
Princeton's stretch of four games in 11 days continues with games this Saturday at home against UMBC (19th in the media poll, unranked in the coaches' poll) and then at North Carolina next Tuesday, the 16th. Carolina is ranked third in both polls.
Princeton opens its Ivy League schedule Saturday the 20th at home against Penn.
