Yeager Named Ivy Offensive Player Of The Week Again

October 11, 2021 | Field Hockey

Beth Yeager's remarkable freshman field hockey season has added another impressive achievement.

Yeager was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week after her four-goal performance in Princeton's 6-0 win over Dartmouth Saturday in Hanover. This is the second time this season that Yeager has been honored with the award.

The four goals against Dartmouth tied Yeager for the second-best total in program history. It also equals the record for the most goals scored in a game by a Princeton freshman, something done before only by Katie Reinprecht back in 2008.

Yeager leads the Ivy League in goals (14) and points (34). She's also third in Division I in both stats, and she is the only freshman in Division I in the top 10 nationally in either.

Princeton hosts Cornell Friday at 4 on ESPNU and then takes on Penn State at home Sunday at noon.
