PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) -- Derek Javarone kicked a 35-yard field

goal, the Ivy League record-setting 42nd in his career, in overtime

Saturday afternoon to lead Princeton past Cornell, 20-17.

The Tigers, who jumped out to a 14-0 lead, actually had to rally

in the final minutes of regulation just to force the extra frame.

Javarone kicked a 32-yarder to tie things at 17 with 2:18

remaining, setting the stage for his game-winner minutes later.

Jason Feinberg, who had played at Penn, previously held the

league record for field goals with 41.

The Tigers dominated early in the game, as quarterback Jeff

Terrell connected with tight end Jon Dekker on an 11-yard touchdown

pass in the first quarter and Rob Toresco capped off an eight-play,

72-yard scoring march with a 1-yard run in the second.

But Cornell refused to go quietly. Free safety Kevin Rex sacked

Terrell back at the Princeton 2-yard line, forcing a punt that

allowed the Big Red to take possession on the home teams 46-yard

line.

A 15-yard shovel pass from Ryan Kuhn to Luke Siwula paved the

way to a 46-yard field goal by A.J. Weitsman, getting Cornell on

the scoreboard.

The Big Red immediately regained possession with an onside kick

and scored on a 39-yard field goal from Weitsman.

Weitsman added a fourth-quarter field goal to bring the visitors

within 14-9, and they later grabbed a 17-14 advantage with Siwula's

six-yard touchdown reception and conversion run in the fourth.

It was Princeton's Javarone who then was able to rescue the team

with his two field goals.

Terrell threw for 190 yards while Kuhn countered with 152

through the air and 75 on the ground, but the defenses, in addition

to Javarone, stole the show.

Cornell's Rex led all tackles with 21 stops, including a sack,

while Princeton linebacker Abi Fadeyi had 14 tackles, including two

sacks.
