Jan. 6 TigerCast: Travis Erdman and Rachel Weber
January 06, 2011 | General, Women's Ice Hockey, Wrestling
Wrestler Travis Erdman and women's hockey goalie Rachel Weber join the first TigerCast of 2011.
Erdman is the senior captain of the Princeton wrestling team and is in the midst of the best season of his career. A former All-Ivy honoree, Erdman has 11 wins already this season and recently led Princeton to an 18-16 win at Bucknell. It was arguably the program's best win in more than a decade and highlights the continued progress that has occurred throughout Erdman's time at Princeton. He talks about his early faith in head coach Chris Ayres and all of the positive developments that have happened since he began his Princeton career.
Weber is a junior and two-time ECAC Goaltender of the Week for a women's hockey team that has won five straight games. She has shut out three straight opponents and has blanked four of the last five teams she has faced, including the fifth-ranked Boston College Eagles on New Year's Eve. Weber looks at a key road weekend coming up at St. Lawrence and Clarkson and how the Princeton season has turned for the better over the last five games.
