Down by eight with 2:29 left to play, a familiar sense of despair wafted through Lavietes Pavilion. The cheerleaders fell silent, the fans began to collect their belongings, and the Princeton bench afforded itself an opportunity to sit back and relax. That’s when the Crimson struck.

Hetrick converted to Catholicism at St. Paul’s, and Vittori, a member...
