The home portion of the Ivy League season will begin Saturday for the Princeton women's soccer team when the Tigers host Dartmouth for a 1 p.m. start.
RPI: Princeton moved up one spot to No. 33 in this week's NCAA RPI, 34 spots ahead of the next Ivy team, Harvard at No. 67.
Best start: Princeton's 7-1-1 start remains its best since 2004, when the Tigers won 14 of their first 15 games.
Records: Already the owner of Princeton's career goals record (51) and points record (117), senior Tyler Lussi is also the Ivy's top goal scorer since 1988 and is seeking to become the league's top point scorer since that year. On the league's goal list, she now trails only Harvard's Kelly Landry (68) and Sue St. Louis (66) and Brown's Theresa Hirschauer (62), all of whom played in the 1980s. On the league's points list, she is behind Landry at 160, St. Louis at 148, Hirschauer at 131 and Penn's Katy Cross (2001-04) at 125.
Rookies: Despite having 10 starters available to return for Princeton, the freshman class has managed to make its mark, with Natalie Grossi starting each of the first nine games in goal and earning Ivy League Rookie of the Week for Week 2 after two shutouts in her first four games. Abby Givens scored her second goal Saturday at Yale and classmate Tomi Kennedy has scored this season as well. Olivia Sheppard, Emily Hilliard and Givens have joined Grossi in getting starts this season.
Weekly honors: Tyler Lussi has won two Ivy League Player of the Week honors and Mimi Asom won one, giving Princeton three winners in the league's first five weekends. Natalie Grossi earned Ivy Rookie of the Week honors after the season's second weekend. Lussi's recognitions this year give her nine for her career, extending her Ivy League record.
Stat rankings: Through Monday's games, Tyler Lussi was No. 2 in the nation in shots on goal per game at 3.0, No. 4 in game-winning goals (four), No. 5 in total shots per game (5.11) and No. 9 goals per game.
Turning 20: Sean Driscoll, in his second season coaching the Tigers, is the second-fastest coach to 20 wins in program history, going 21-5-2 in his first 28 games through the Yale weekend. That puts him behind only the program's first coach, Bob Malekoff, who won 24 of his first 28 games in 1980 and '81. Malekoff and Driscoll are the only Tiger coaches to reach 20 wins in fewer than 41 games. Driscoll is the first Tiger coach to lead the team to the NCAA tournament in his first year, which he did last season in a run that included a first-round home win over Boston College.
Common foes: Princeton and Dartmouth had no common non-league opponents, and with this being just the Ivy League weekend, neither has faced the same Ivy team yet either.
Series history: Princeton leads Dartmouth 17-16-2 all-time. No current Dartmouth player has scored a goal against Princeton, and current Tigers have scored five against Dartmouth, with Tyler Lussi scoring twice in 2014's 2-2 tie at Roberts Stadium and Mimi Asom scoring twice and Natalie Larkin scoring once in last season's 3-2 Tiger win in Hanover. Larkin had the game-winning goal less than five minutes into overtime against current Dartmouth keeper Casey Cousineau in what was the first game all season, and as it turned out one of only two such games on the year for Dartmouth, in which the Big Green gave up more than one goal. Dartmouth's last win over Princeton came in 2013, 2-0 in Hanover.
On Dartmouth: The Big Green have been stingy on defense this season, giving up just four goals through their first nine games. Six of the team's nine games have been 1-0 finals, with Dartmouth splitting those three games. Through Monday's games, Dartmouth ranked 12th in the nation with an 0.44 GAA and ninth with a .902 save percentage. Senior Casey Cousineau has accounted for all of those numbers, standing 10th nationally in save percentage and 16th in GAA. Rookie Charlotte Esty leads the team with three goals and is one of eight Big Green players to have scored this season. Ron Rainey is in his third season leading the team and is aiming to put Dartmouth back in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2005.
The home portion of the Ivy League season will begin Saturday for the Princeton women's soccer team when the Tigers host Dartmouth for a 1 p.m. start.
