PRINCETON, N.J. -- After a week off from League
play two weekends ago, the Ivies played their fourth round of
League games this past weekend. On Saturday, Princeton used a 7-1
win over Brown to stay atop the League standings at 4-0.
Katie Reinprecht led a balanced Princeton attack
as she scored the Tigers' second goal and had the assist on
the third.
Also on Saturday, Yale and Dartmouth met in Hanover, N.H. with
both teams looking for a win to remain one game out of first place.
Virginia Peisch scored first to make it 1-0 in
favor of the Big Green, but Erin Carter answered
with two straight goals for the Bulldogs as Yale went on to record
a 3-1 victory and move to 3-1 in the League. Cornell also moved to
3-1 in Ivy play with 2-0 road win at Harvard on Saturday.
Catie De Stio was the hero for the Big Red,
scoring both goals as Cornell won its fourth game in a row.
Then on Sunday, Penn earned its first Ivy League win of the season
by knocking off Columbia in dramatic fashion. After falling behind
2-1 with ten minutes to play, Caroline Olt netted
her first goal of the season to send the contest to overtime where
Laurel McGarvie scored the game-winning goal for
the Quakers. For Columbia, it marked the second consecutive
dramatic finish as the Lions previously outlasted Lafayette to earn
a 2-1 non-conference win in penalty strokes on Wednesday. The win
was in large part due to goalkeeper Christie
O'Hara's 10 saves during the game, including
five in the two overtimes, and then she added three more stops
during the shootout.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Junior back Erin Carter (Perkiomenville, Pa.)
scored three goals over the weekend, leading Yale to a pair of
victories. Carter had two goals in Saturday's
come-from-behind 3-1 Ivy League win at Dartmouth. Against the Big
Green, Carter scored to knot the game at 1-1 and then netted what
proved to be the game-winning goal early in the second half. Then
in Yale's 2-0 win over Holy Cross, she scored the insurance
tally to put the Bulldogs up 2-0.
One of Yale's top defensive players, Carter also helped Yale
limit its opponents to just one goal in 140 minutes of play.
Dartmouth entered the contest versus Yale with the third highest
goals per game average in the country (4.09) but scored only once
on Saturday.
With six goals in the last six games, Carter has taken over
Yale's team lead with seven for the season. She is also
second on the team in points with 14. Carter is Yale's first
Ivy League Player of the Week since Dinah Landshut
earned the honor on Nov. 10, 2009.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Freshman Georgia Holland (Stony Brook, N.Y.) has
been one of Yale's best two-way players as a midfielder, but
this weekend the Bulldogs needed her in the backfield to focus on
her defensive prowess.
Holland made the most of her time at back, helping Yale hold its
two opponents to just one goal in 140 minutes of action. Dartmouth
entered the contest versus Yale with the third highest goals per
game average in the country (4.09) but scored only once in
Saturday's 3-1 Bulldog win. Yale then recorded its fourth
shutout of the season Sunday, blanking Holy Cross 2-0.
Holland ranks third on Yale in points (4-5-13) this season and has
now been named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week three times. She
also earned the honor on Sept. 14 and Oct. 5.

THIS WEEK
Competition for positioning within the League standings is heating
up as the Ivies get set to play the fifth set of conference
games.
On Saturday, Harvard travels to Princeton, with the Tigers
looking to remain unbeaten in conference play. Also on Saturday,
Penn, coming off its first Ivy win of the year, travels to Yale
where the Bulldogs will be looking for a third consecutive Ivy win
to remain near the top of the League standings. Rounding out
Saturday's Ivy slate, Cornell will look to extend its overall
winning streak to five games when it plays at Brown.
Then on Sunday, Dartmouth and Columbia will both be trying to
rebound from narrow Ivy defeats last weekend when the teams faceoff
in New York. A win by the Lions would pull them even with the Big
Green in the standings.
Aside from League play, there will be five other contests
involving Ivy teams this week. A pair of cross-town rivalries
highlights the non-conference slate as Brown hosts Providence and
Penn faces Saint Joseph's on Wednesday.
