Last Time Out
Princeton most recently dominated Yale on the road in New Haven last weekend, winning 4-0.

Four Tigers scored in the contest, with Liam Beckwith and Sam Vigilante scoring their first career goals while Daniel Ittycheria and Bardia Hormozi each added another to their season tally.

Andrew Samuels made one save and combined with Sully Atkin to earn the shutout, the Tigers' 10th of the season which ties for first place in the Princeton record book.

In The Rankings
Princeton was ranked #1 in the NCAA committee's top-16, announced on October 17. The Tigers still hold first in the nation in RPI.

In the most recent United Soccer Coaches poll, the Tigers were ranked no. 5.

The Tigers sit tied for fifth nationally in won-lost-tied percentage.

Difficult to score against, Princeton ranks second in the nation in save percentage with 0.918. The Tigers also rank second in the country in goals allowed average (0.286) and shutout percentage (0.714).

Samuels' Saves
Samuels has been in goal for all 14 of the Tigers' matchups this season, allowing just four goals on the season. With nine shutouts, he leads the nation.

The junior Burlingame, Calif. native ranks fourth nationally and first in the Ivy League in goals-against average with 0.287.

Samuels also ranks second in the country in save percentage, tallying an impressive 0.917.

For his dominant first half of the season, Samuels was named to the MAC Hermann Midseason Watch List last Friday. Joining him on the list is senior defender Giuliano Fravolini Whitchurch.

Offensive Leaders
Ittycheria leads the Ivy League with eight goals on the season, scoring four game-winners on the way to lead in the stat and rank third nationally.

Junior Bardia Hormozi has 14 points on the season for a squad second-best, scoring five goals and notching four assists on the way.

Senior defender Jack Jasinski also has three goals and four assists for 10 points this season.

Hungry Tigers
The defending Ivy League Tournament Champions returned to Roberts this year after a successful 2024 season that saw the Tigers go 12-7 and make an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Princeton was picked to finish second in the Ivy League preseason poll, receiving five first-place votes.

The Tigers returned 24 players this season, accounting for 70% (21 of 30) goals and 85% of assists (24 of 28). Of the 24 returners, 11 are seniors.

Keeping an Eye Out
Key returning seniors Ittycheria, Whitchurch and Jasinski were named United Soccer Coaches Players to Watch in their respective positions this preseason.

Whitchurch was named to the preseason MAC Hermann Watch List, again appearing on the midseason list announced October 10. The centerback was one of just four defenders and 31 players to be selected nationally to the Midseason Watch List.

His leadership on the back line helped Princeton to a goals-against average of 1.16 in 2024, and he was named to the First Team All-Ivy and the Ivy League All-Tournament Team.

Jasinski led the Tigers in assists with nine last season, putting him third in the Princeton record book for assists in a single season. With four already this season, he now holds fourth in career assists with 20.

Jasinski and Ittycheria were both named to the 2024 Second Team All-Ivy.

Called Up
Ittycheria was drafted by D.C. United in the 2025 MLS Superdraft. He was selected in the second round as the 40th overall pick after leading the Tigers in goals in both 2024 and 2023.

In 2024, Ittycheria logged nine goals and one assist. Three of those goals came during the Ivy League Tournament, for which he was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

This preseason, Ittycheria was also named to the TopDrawerSoccer Second Team.

Captains
Whitchurch and Jack Hunt were named captains to lead the 2025 squad. Hunt, a midfielder from Coronado, Calif., was a 2024 All-Ivy Honorable Mention. Both captains hail from California, with Whitchurch coming from San Diego.

About the Newcomers
Princeton welcomes seven talented newcomers in the class of 2029 this season in Tyler Vilet, Ben Manfroy, Frederik Sadjak, Jackson Martin, Tyler Austin, Ryker Joutz and Giacomo Gabrielli.

Martin has three goals on the season already, while Sadjak has three starts.

About Coach Barlow
Head coach Jim Barlow is in his 29th season as the men's soccer head coach and has accumulated 233 career wins with the Tigers, the most for any soccer coach in Princeton history, men's or women's. Barlow was also named the 2021 Ivy League Coach of the Year.

Scouting Dartmouth
Dartmouth is 3-6-3 on the season and 2-3-0 in Ivy League play, most recently falling to Penn, 2-0, last Saturday.

This season, the Big Green tied then-no. 13 Vermont in a 3-3 contest on Sept. 9.

Eidur Baldvinsson leads Dartmouth with four goals on the season. Olly Spicer has two goals and three assists to his credit for seven points.

Konstantinos Dellas has been in goal for eight Dartmouth's games this season, making 26 saves for a GAA of 1.82 and a save percentage of 0.703.
