Oct. 2 TigerCast: Julie Shackford and Ty Desir?
October 02, 2014 | Football, General, Women's Soccer
With early Ivy League showdowns coming for both Saturday, women's soccer head coach Julie Shackford and sophomore defensive lineman Ty Desiré join the latest edition of TigerCast.
Shackford announced before this season that she was going to step down following this, her 20th year as head coach. Ten years removed from Princeton's thrilling run to the national semifinals, Shackford is trying to lead an injury-plagued group back to the NCAA tournament. Shackford talks about the key Ivy-opening win over Yale last week, looks ahead to Saturday's 7 pm showdown with Dartmouth, and reflects on her brilliant career as head coach.
Desiré is one of the young linemen who had the unenviable task of replacing the likes of Caraun Reid, Greg Sotereanos and Matt Landry this season. He has gotten off to a strong start, including a four-tackle performance at San Diego, but he will be put to the test this weekend when Princeton makes its Ivy League debut Saturday at 12:30 at Columbia. He talks about the transition of moving into the lineup and talks about an improving Columbia offense during the interview.
TigerCast is the official podcast of Princeton Athletics. Each Thursday, a new edition will feature interviews with student-athletes and coaches, as well as some perspective on both past results and upcoming competitions.
With the new design of the site, there is a new home for TigerCast. You can access the TigerCast page here or by clicking the microphone tab on the right side of the page. All previous TigerCasts will be stored on this page as well.
