Men’s hockey marked the 100th anniversary of Hobey Baker 1914’s senior year by taking the Baker Rink ice against Harvard Nov. 16 wearing jerseys that were a throwback to the legendary figure’s era. The jerseys had orange stripes on the sleeves, while adding a large orange P in the style of a varsity athlete’s sweater. The Crimson topped the Tigers, 5–3, who fell to 2–7. Women’s hockey (5–2–1) skated past New Hampshire, 3–1, before earning a hard-fought 1–1 tie with No. 5 Boston College.

In a quarterfinal NCAA tournament match, field hockey’s Teresa Benvenuti ’15 and Allison Evans ’16 scored first- half goals against top-ranked Maryland Nov. 17 in College Park, Md. But the Terrapins came back to spoil No. 8 Princeton’s hopes for a second-straight national title, 3–2. The Tigers beat Penn State 5–4 in the opening round.
