In a match originally scheduled for Saturday but moved up to Friday night due to today’s Nor’easter, Rutgers and Princeton squared off on a cool, pleasant March evening in Princeton in the nation’s 7th oldest collegiate lacrosse rivalry. Over 1,400 vocal fans decked out in Princeton orange and Rutgers red enjoyed the 99th all time meeting in a series that dates back to 1922. The game is officially known as the Meistrell Cup, for Harland “Tots” Meistrell who restarted the Rutgers program in 1920 and then headed down what I assume was Route 1 to restart Princeton’s lacrosse club in 1921.
#3 Rutgers falls to #7 Princeton
