The Princeton Varsity Club held its Fall Coaches Luncheon on October 15th, where university and community partners alike gathered to hear remarks from a selection of fall head coaches and accompanying student-athletes.
Those teams in attendance included Field Hockey, Football, Womenβs Soccer and Menβs Water Polo. Each featured head coach, including Kristen Holmes-Winn (Field Hockey), Bob Surace β90 (Football), Sean Driscoll (Womenβs Soccer) and Luis Nicolao (Menβs Water Polo), highlighted their respective 2015 squads, provided updates on their fall season to date and spoke to their programβs role in the Princeton Athletic Departmentβs mission of βEducation Through Athletics,β all while competing at a championship-level.
Each head coach then turned the floor over to one of their student-athletes to speak to their Princeton journey, and the opportunities Athletics has afforded them to Achieve, Serve and Lead on the playing field, in the classroom and beyond. Featured student-athletes included:
- Field Hockey – Maddie Copeland β16
- Football – Britt Colcolough β16
- Womenβs Soccer – Emily Sura β16
- Menβs Water Polo – Ryan Wilson β19

These five league championships capped a tremendous fall for Princeton Athletics.
