Men's basketball fell to Princeton 81 to 48 in non-league play on Monday.
In the renewal of a “rivalry” last played in 1920, head coach Bill Carmody
'75 and his Tigers used a 32-0 run to break a 9-9 tie enroute to a 44-13 halftime
lead. Princeton, which returned from a 16-day exam break, has ended its layoff by playing
a Division III school every year since 1985. The Tigers' average margin of victory is
41 points.
Carmody, who played three years at Union and graduated with all of the Dutchmen's
assist records (single game-13, single season-146 and career-326), is in his third year as
head coach at Princeton. His teams own a 30-0 Ivy League record and a 62-10 overall mark.
Freshman Dave Musella led the Dutchmen with 18 points and eight rebounds. Union may
have lost the services of junior point guard Zena Woldeyesus, who left the game early in
the first half with a possible broken foot.
