Chris Young threw six innings of shutout baseball on Wednesday night, but Colorado's Ubaldo Jimenez was Young's equal, keeping San Diego off the board.

"I definitely was a little sharper today. My fastball command was a lot better," Young said. "I still feel like I'm not quite there with my stuff. But there's no pain ... I think there's some weakness. I was talking to [Mike Cameron] about it, and he said it can take a couple of months."

"We will certainly have our work cut out for us this season,” says head coach Sydney Johnson. “Apart from playing in the Big East - which is the best conference in America - I can't imagine a tougher schedule for our team. That being said, true players want to play against the best competition and playing these caliber of programs is what Princeton basketball is all about."
Chris Mooney's Richmond team has also released its non-conference schedule for the upcoming season.
