PRINCETON, N.J. -- The race to the Ivy League
championship kicked off in earnest last week as the eight teams
began the conference slate of their schedules. No. 21 Brown, No. 22
Cornell and Princeton stand atop the standings with three points
apiece while Harvard and Yale each have one point.
Each Ivy contest came down to the wire, setting up what should be
an exciting campaign for the League title. Princeton beat
Dartmouth, 2-1, on sophomore Cameron
Porter’s goal in overtime. Brown held off Columbia
by the same score, getting the gamewinning goal in the 76th minute
from sophomore Daniel Taylor.
Cornell trailed Penn early, 1-0, then scored three in a row to go
up 3-1, then gave up a goal in the 63rd minute and had to keep the
Quakers at bay for just over 27 minutes, eventually winning, 3-2.
Junior Daniel Haber and senior Tyler
Regan each had a goal and an assist for the Big Red. In
the fourth League contest of the week, Harvard and Yale battled to
a scoreless draw.
The second round of the Ivy League schedule will take place on
Oct. 6. Harvard will host Cornell at 3:30 p.m., while Yale will
take on Dartmouth, Columbia will face Penn and Brown will play
Princeton, all at 7:00 p.m.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Cornell senior Tyler Regan (Philadelphia) decided
to get in on some of teammate Daniel Haber’s
action. Regan finished with five points on a goal and three assists
during his team’s 2-0 week to become the second Big Red to
earn Player of the Week this season, joining Haber, who is already
a three-time recipient (Sept. 3, Sept. 10, Sept. 24). Regan scored
the gamewinner and tallied an assist in his team’s 4-1 win
over Hartwick and followed that with two assists, including one on
the gamewinner, in Cornell’s 3-2 victory over Penn.
Regan earns his first career Ivy League weekly accolade while
becoming the first Cornell Player of the Week not named Haber since
Brian Kuritzky on Sept. 4, 2007. His award gives
Cornell four Player of the Week honors in the past five weeks, the
first time that has happened during any stretch of the season in
Ivy League history.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Not to be outdone, Princeton freshman Thomas
Sanner (Indianapolis) earned his fourth Rookie of the Week
award this year, making the Tigers the first team in Ivy League
history to earn four such honors in a five-week span since the
award was created in 1990.
In Princeton’s only game of the week, a 2-1 win over
Dartmouth, Sanner was a factor in both of his team’s goals
with a score and an assist. He netted the game’s first goal
in the 18th minute and then earned an assist on the gamewinner in
overtime. Sanner is the first four-time Rookie of the Week
recipient since Dartmouth’s Lucky Mkosana in
2008 and the first Tiger to earn four Rookie of the Week awards
since Jason White in 1999.
