BREAKING OUT: Princeton University men’s lacrosse player Jeff Froccaro looks for an opening in recent action. Last week, sophomore midfielder Froccaro came up big as the Tigers posted a 11-10 win over Rutgers on April 12 and then beat Dartmouth 8-4 last Saturday. He scored three goals in the win over the Scarlet knights and then matched his career high with four goals against the Big Green. Coming into the week, Froccaro had scored a total of five goals in the Tigers’ first eight games. Princeton, now 4-6 overall and 2-2 in Ivy League play, hosts Harvard (7-5 overall, 1-3 Ivy) on April 23.
