...have been raining in Princeton, Saturday, but it certainly did not rain on the Crimson’s parade. Within the first 22 seconds of the women’s soccer game between Harvard (9-3-3, 4-1 Ivy) and No. 20 Princeton (9-2-2, 3-1-1), the Crimson pulled ahead of the Tigers and never relinquished the lead, ultimately winning 2-1.
