Coming off a 12-14 season in 2017, Princeton looks ready to burst onto the scene in 2018 as they are receiving votes in the preseason coaches poll. The schedule for the Tigers in accomplishing a strong season has been set, featuring six ranked non-conference opponents to prepare for EIVA action.
The season begins on January 2 with a tough road test at #12 USC and doesn’t get much easier with meetings against #2 Long Beach State, #8 Stanford and #11 CSUN in a span of a little over 24 hours.
The schedule slows down a bit with just two matches for the rest of January though, but ramps back up at the start of February at #4 UCLA (Feb. 1) and at #10 Pepperdine (Feb. 3).
EIVA play kicks off following that on February 9 with a pair of road matches at Charleston. They’ll also play two matches with other conference foes in (RV) George Mason, Harvard, Sacred Heart, St. Francis, #9 Penn State and NJIT.
The final four matches of the season come on the road with senior night on March 31 against (RV) George Mason.
The EIVA Semifinals and Finals are on April 19 and 21 respectively for those who make it and the NCAA Tournament after that.
