PRINCETON, N.J. (Interstat) — A pair of Ivy League rivals with identical records will meet Friday night when the Princeton Tigers host the Columbia Lions at Princeton Stadium.

Princeton also evened its record last weekend, defeating Lafayette 38-28 on the road. The Tigers employed a trio of quarterbacks in the win, with Kai Colón, Blaine Hipa and Asher Weiner all contributing to the offensive effort.
