PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Ivy League continued its
impressive start to the season last week. The League is now 22-8
against nonconference foes, including 8-4 against ranked teams, and
has an above .500 mark against each of the other eight conferences
in the nation.
It could be said that the League was three seconds away from
going a perfect 12-0 last week. Ivies were 11-1 on the week with
the lone setback coming when Princeton lost at North Carolina. The
Tar Heels scored the game-winner with three seconds left in
regulation. As a result of the stellar start to the season, four
Ivies are ranked in the polls this week with a fifth receiving
votes.
After “taking care of business” in the early
nonconference slate, the Ivies move into League play this weekend.
Princeton will first host Manhattan on Tuesday night. Then, the
weekend slate has Yale hosting Cornell, Penn hosting Princeton and
Harvard paying a visit to Brown.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
2011 Tewaarton Trophy finalist and 2013 candidate Rob
Pannell (Smithtown, N.Y.) of Cornell led the Big Red to a
come-from-behind win at Virgina and in the process became the
school’s all-time leader in career assists. Pannell had five
points (2g, 3a) in a decisive 7-2 run that came over the final 20
minutes as Cornell beat the Cavaliers in Charlottsville. Pannell
assisted on the game-winner as he found Steve Mock with just 13
seconds left in regulation. Pannell is also now third on the Ivy
League career lists for points (286) and assists (168).
It is Pannell’s second Ivy League Player of the Week
selection this season and the eighth of his career.
