Columbia Lions

Having won just six games this season, the Columbia Lions are fading down the stretch. That 11-game losing spell is no joke and their chances against Princeton is not looking good. Ike Nwele and Jack Forrest try to stop the bleeding by anchoring the Lions offense this Friday. However, their teammate needs to step up if they want to halt their skid.

Princeton Tigers
