Up to The Challenge

Carpenter, for one, thinks the team will be up for the challenge tonight.

"We have to come out ready to play. The game will be three-quaters mental tomorrow night. But I don't think that there will be any problems," Carpenter said.

But, other than Tournament seedings, the Crimson may have another motivation for beating Yale.

"I remembered in practice today about the football game and how miserable it felt. And how great it felt when we beat them the first time," Staebler said.

"We want to crush them," the freshman added.

And not to mention, a victory over Yale and an Ivy League championship would be more than enough to compensate for than enough to compensate for the dissapointment of losing the NCAA bid.
