Princeton/Yale Set For ESPNU Contest on Oct. 13
August 21, 2019 | Women's Volleyball
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Princeton vs. Yale match at Dillon Gym originally scheduled for Friday, October 11th has been moved to October 13th.
Why is this a big deal?
It's on national television. That's why.
The Tigers and Bulldogs will get underway at 1 p.m. on ESPNU. It's the second straight year that these two rivals have faced off on the national stage.
These two squads have won at least a share of the Ivy League title in each of the previous nine seasons. Princeton won the league's automatic bid in 2017 with a playoff win over Yale, secured the crown outright in 2016 and took a share in 2015. The Tigers finished second in 2018 to the Bulldogs.
Princeton finished 19-6 overall last season and 12-2 in conference action. Though the Tigers were one match behind Yale for the Ivy title, they nearly made league history this postseason; no Ivy team has ever earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, but the committee chairperson announced that Princeton was one of the final four out when the 2018 postseason field was named.
