Career scoring/pronunciations
The sixth-ranked Princeton men's lacrosse team heads to a city that has not been kind to it in recent years. In doing so, the Tigers look to do something that nobody did in the first two weekends of Ivy League gamers – win on the road.
It's the 60th meeting between Princeton and Brown. Reminder - Game time has been moved to noon from the original 1 to accomodate the NESN broadcast in New England. Otherwise, the game can also be seen on ESPN+.
Princeton vs. Brown
Five Storylines
Series history
Princeton leads the all-time series 32-27, including a win in the 1994 NCAA semifinals on the way to the second of its six NCAA tournaments. That's the good news.
The bad news is that Princeton is 1-6 in its last seven games against Brown. Even that one win has something of an asterisk in that Princeton defeated Brown 21-11 in the 2017 regular season and then lost 17-15 in the Ivy League tournament later that season. Princeton lost to Brown in 2018 and 2019; had Princeton won those games, it would have reached the Ivy League tournament in those seasons.
Princeton's last win in Providence came in the 2012 season.
Scoring offense
Princeton and Brown played a long series of low-scoring games prior to the 2017 season. In the 13 meetings between the two prior to that, the total number of goals scored was 16.38, and the losing team averaged 5.97 goals in those 13 games. Going back 34 times prior to 2017, both teams had reached double figures in goals three times – in 1991, 2002 and 2014.
The scores of the four meetings since then have been 21-11 Princeton, 17-15 Brown, 14-13 Brown and 14-10 Brown.
This year, the teams average just short of 30 goals per game between them. Princeton, at 16.14 per game, ranks third in Division I.
Aw shoot
Princeton is averaging 45.1 shots per game. Princeton's opponents are averaging 43.4 shots per game. Brown is averaging 43.9 shots per game; its opponents average 43.6.
If you look only at the last three Princeton games, though, then Princeton's shots have, well, shot up. In fact, there have been 304 shots in Princeton's last three games. There were 104 shots in the Princeton-Rutgers game, followed by 94 in the Princeton-Penn game and 106 last week against Yale.
Mid-Season All-Americans
Princeton had eight players named to the Inside Lacrosse mid-season All-American team. Jake Stevens was named second-team as a midfielder, and Andrew Song was named third-team as an LSM.
There were six honorable mention selections: George Baughan (D), Chris Brown (A), Sam English (M), Ben Finlay (D), Erik Peters (G), Alexander Vardaro (M).
Princeton had two preseason IL All-Americans (Baughan and Stevens). The last time Princeton had at least eight postseason All-Americans was in 2001, the last time Princeton won the NCAA title.
The Ivy League
Princeton is ranked sixth this week, which makes the Tigers one of five Ivy League schools ranked in the top 10 (by both the USILA and Inside Lacrosse). What does this mean? For starters, it means that at least one of those five teams will miss the Ivy League tournament.
To illustrate how wild the league is this year, Princeton has beaten Penn, who beat Cornell, who beat Yale, who beat Princeton.
Harvard is currently the only unbeaten team in the league, at 2-0, with wins over Brown and Dartmouth. Also, through the first two weekends of league play, the home teams are a combined 6-0.
Other notes
* Princeton has wins over the three teams ranked ahead in the USILA and Inside Lacrosse polls (No. 3 Georgetown, No. 4/5 Penn, No. 5/4 Rutgers). Princeton has also lost to No. 1 Maryand and No. 8 Yale.
* Princeton is ranked in the top 10 in Division I in all of the following: shooting percentage (third), man-up offense (second), scoring offense (third), man-up offense (fourth), ground balls per game (fourth), caused turnovers per game (fifth), points per game (sixth), saves per game (seventh) and opponent clear percentage (ninth).
* Princeton has won 107 face-offs and lost 109 face-offs. Princeton has not been over 50 percent for a season since 2012.
* Both Princeton and Brown lost games last week against teams whose goalies made 19 saves.
* Princeton has 57 assists on 113 goals. The last time Princeton didn't have at least 60 percent of its goals assisted on for a season was 2011.
* Princeton is 10-2 in its last 12 games and 14-3 in its last 17 games.
