Princeton starts their California road trip with a great upset.

Number of the Day

8 - Upsets are rough, no matter what way you slice them. But UCSD is probably wishing they could have last night’s match back. They outscored Princeton by 8 points over the match. They out-hit Princeton .280 to .231. They out-aced Princeton 14-3. There is a reason they were the favorite. And yet, this is what happens with parity. I know I am a broken record, but I can’t help it. This is the excitement of a balanced sport ecosystem.
