...different. Senior netminder Roxanne Gaudiel gives Princeton one of the country's best between the pipes—she posted a .926 save percentage and a 1.88 goals against average a year ago—and the chance to win low-scoring games. Juniors Kim Pearce and Laura Watt lead the offense, which struggled at times last season, ranking 13th nationally, but it returns eight of its nine top scorers from a year...

Dressed in civvies, Curragh and Vei Koso head out after dinner in a four-wheel-drive to show their presence; in the dim, 40-watt glow of surrounding villages, officials are working late to ensure they're ready to meet the first voters when polling begins at 7 a.m. Curragh leaves the vehicle to caution one of chief Daga's buddies, who is drinking beer by the side of the road.
