Preparing for the start of the Ivy League season has taken the Princeton softball team to California and Texas before a return to the East Coast, and now, the 20-game Ivy slate is set to begin Saturday at the Class of 1895 Field with a visit from Brown followed by a Sunday twinbill with Yale.

Admission is free to all Princeton home softball games. The games were originally due to be played Friday and Saturday, but with rain in Friday's forecast, they are now shifted to Saturday and Sunday.
The Tigers enter the weekend having won three of four in games hosted by Long Island last weekend, taking two from Long Island and splitting with Binghamton. Senior Marissa Reynolds, the reigning Ivy League Player of the Week, leads Princeton with a .471 batting average, six doubles and three home runs. Tiger underclassmen are making big contributions as well, with rookie Megan Donahey hitting .407 on a team-high 24 hits and sophomore Mikayla Blaska (.325) and rookie Allison Harvey (.309) each also hitting better than .300. Seniors have held down the circle so far for the Tigers, with Erica Nori at 3-1 with a 3.63 ERA and Claire Klausner at 3-3 with a 4.83 ERA. The pair have combined to throw 76 2/3 of the team's 116 2/3 innings.
Brown enters the weekend at 8-13 on the season and on a five-game winning streak with junior Grayson Metzger leading the team with a .333 average, leading four Bears regulars who are hitting at or over .300. Junior Katie Orona (4-5, 3.19 ERA) and sophomore Meghan Wimmer (3-4, 3.31 ERA) have combined to throw 95 of the team's 126 1/3 innings. Yale (5-17), which will open Ivy play Friday at Cornell, also has three regulars over .300, led by junior Francesca Casalino (1-5, 4.65) at .355. Casalino is one of three Yale pitchers to combine for all but seven of the team's 142 innings, along with sophomore Terra Jerpbak (1-5, 4.20), whose sister Skye Jerpbak '17 is a Princeton softball alumna, and senior Lindsay Efflandt (2-6, 5.29).
The weekend marks the first four of eight cross-divisional games for Princeton, who will head to Harvard and Dartmouth next weekend before opening Ivy South play at Penn April 15 with the first two of a four-game series. The Tigers have taken at least three games from the Yale-Brown weekend five years in a row, with Princeton sweeping a pair of extra-inning games in New Haven last year before splitting two at Brown.Â
