Langlas, a 5'9 "quiet assassin" at shooting guard, leads Princeton into battle. She led the team with 13.9 ppg and also averaged 5.3 rpg. A player who's described as "fundamentally sound" in the Ivy media guide, Langlas realizes the sense of urgency the team feels to finally win a championship with the current squad.

"But there are so many new faces," Langlas said. "We have to get familiar with one another before we can think about winning the Ivy League."

Two faces she already knows are those of returning guard/forward Thirolf and junior point guard Jessica Munson. Thirolf was Princeton's second-leading scorer with 11.2 ppg. Both Thirolf and Langlas are expected to break the 1000-point career mark this season.

In the frontcourt, the Tigers will need to replace the departed Julie Angell and Lee Ann Drohan, who were both All-Ivy. Two possibilities are senior center Brooke Lockwood and sophomore forward Lauren Rigney, who contributed solid minutes off the bench last year.

"We know what it takes to get a tie for the Ivy League title," said Feeley. "We should know what it takes to win it outright."

The number "13" has never been mistaken for a lucky number. But the Big Green (19-9, 11-3, t-1st) would love to get to No. 13--13 Ivy League titles, that is.

However, repeating as champions won't be as easy as it was for the Yankees. The team lost three starters, including second team All-Ivy forwards Katie O'Connor and Erin Rewalt. Almost every starting spot is up for grabs. Luckily for Head Coach Chris Wielgus, the competition is fierce for those jobs.
