Comfort lost the ball coming out of the timeout, and Penn took full advantage by hitting a 3-pointer to close the gap to 2. It's 31-29 at the half. Really disappointing finish for the Tigers--they led by as much as 11. One of the biggest problems down the stretch for Princeton was the turnovers. They turned the ball over 12 times in the half. The Tigers shot a solid percentage--55.6%--but they took only 18 shots compared to Penn's 32. Part of that is Princeton's patience on offense, but a lot of those extra shots come from the Quakers offensive rebounds--they had 9--and the Tigers' turnovers. We'll see if they can clean up those two areas in the second half.

Penn on a little 4-0 run.
Penn has gone on a little 4-0 run here to pull to within 5, 31-26. There's about a minute to go--Sydney Johnson just called timeout. Tigers need to close out the half so all of the hard work they have put in doesn't go to waste.
Tigers need to work on cleaning up the defensive boards a little bit more.
Quakers have been able to get a couple of extra opportunities thanks to some tough offensive rebounding, but they haven't been able to fully take advantage thus far. It's 29-20 with 4:00 to go in the first half.
Back and Forth
Penn's Zack Rosen finally broke the drought, hitting on a highly contested 3 with only a couple of seconds left on the shot clock. Bernadini got a layup opportunity in transition and scored, drawing the foul as well. He completed the 3-point play the hard way. John Comfort and Schroeder each hit threes, however, and Saunders got a layup in transition, so the Quakers haven't been able to cut into the lead. It stands at 23-15, Princeton.
Mavraides knocks down a 3
Mavraides just got himself on the board, knocking down a 3. More impressively, however, the Tigers haven't allowed the Quakers to score since 15:29. 10:10 left in the first half, 15-9 Princeton lead.
Make that an 8-0 run.
Patrick Saunders just knocked down a 3 from the corner, then followed that up with a great block on a layup attempt on the defensive end. Tigers look much more comfortable on the court right now. 10-9 lead for Princeton, its first of the game.
Quick 5-0 spurt by Princeton
Doug Davis was left alone outside the arc and he knocked down the three. Buczak followed that up with a tough layup in the paint. 9-7, Quakers lead.
Tigers off to a slow start, down 9-2.
Bernadini just came off of a screen and pulled up for the 3-pointer. He got a clean look and made sure it didn't go to waste. On the other end, Princeton has been held to a single field goal, and that was an offensive rebound putback by Pawel Buczak.
Bernadini knocks down a 2 for a 4-0 lead.
Tyler Bernadini just knocked down a three pointer from the corner to give Penn a quick 5-0 lead. The Tigers are going to have to keep him from getting clean looks or he will hurt them a lot.
Correction: he wasn't outside the arc. 4-0 lead.

Princeton Gospel vs. Football rematch
Football has a chance to redeem themselves with a 5 on 8 rematch, football entering the match with only 5.
Lets see what happens.
Tower ahead with 4 to go
Not a fast paced game, but True Blue came in numbers. They seem to be dwindling proportionally , but at the end of the day its the team with the highest numbers that wins.
Numbers mean Nothing...
If you dont have the firepower to back it up. LAX has blown the CJL away, even with limited numbers. CJL seems to hug the railing constantly, never coming forward to attack. The best defense in this game seems to be strong, fast offense. There's no room for hugging the sidelines in the extreme sport of DODGEBALL.
CJL outnumbering LAX
With cries of Matzah Baller, the CJL seems alive and ready for this match. LAX just doesnt seem to have the numbers.
PUCSDT VICTORIOUS
With 30 seconds to go, the PUCSDT came from a 3-3 draw and bombarded a USG member down to one member. At the buzzer it was three Swimmers to one USG, giving a win for the floaters. They play in 1o minutes against the sprint football team.
On court 1 at 8 we have CJL vs. Club Lax. You might think blowout, but as of now, CJL has come in numbers. Everyone loves an upset.
PUCSDT vs. USG
Teams are even 6 minutes in, swim seems to have the firepower though. Well see what happens.
DODGEBALL 2008
Here we are at the annual Princeton Dodgeball tournament, reporting live from the sidelines.
The intensity pulsing through Dillon, and everyone seems ready for victory.
7:40 we have USG vs. Swimming and Diving.
DODGEBALL!
