PRINCETON VS. BROWN VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The ninth-ranked Princeton University men's water polo team captured its second consecutive Ivy Championship with a hard-fought 9-7 victory over host Brown University at the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatic Center.
Defeating Dartmouth (18-6) in the tournament semifinal earlier in the day, the Tigers notched their second straight win over Brown in the championship game, having also defeated the Bears in last year's edition, 13-12. Due to Dartmouth's club team status, only the game against Brown will count toward Princeton's 2014 record as the Orange and Black improved to 15-3 overall.
The Tigers return to action on Saturday, Oct. 25 against Fordham and Iona.
