The 2011 preseason schedule, Ivy League Media Poll and comments from head coach Bob Surace '90 are now available on GoPrincetonTigers.com.

Princeton was picked to finish seventh in the annual preseason poll. The Tigers are coming off a winless season in league play, its first since 1973. An injury-ravaged team lost three of those league games by a total of seven points, and is looking forward to get back into league play Oct. 1 in its Ivy opener against Columbia.
