40-Point Weekends Propel Ikwuazom, Miller to Volleyball Weekly Awards

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Princeton (13-6, 9-1 Ivy) sits alone atop the Ivy League table following a weekend that saw both Cornell (15-4, 8-2 Ivy) and Yale (12-7, 8-2 Ivy) drop a League match. 
 
Princeton prevailed in a five-set thriller over Cornell on Friday, Nov. 1, to avenge its lone loss of the Ivy season—a 3-1 loss to the Big Red on Saturday, Oct. 5. Yale fell to Harvard, 3-1, on Saturday, Nov. 2, to join Cornell a match back of League-leading Princeton with four matches to play on the League slate.
