Perusing the Princeton athletic department's game notes in advance of this weekend's games versus Columbia and Cornell, I noticed that guard Marcus Schroeder is climbing the charts for both most career assists and most career steals.
Assists:
413 William F. Ryan, 1981-84
381 Christopher J. “Kit” Mueller, 1987-91
358 John R. Thompson III, 1984-88
304 Mitchell G. Henderson, 1994-98
280 Sydney A. Johnson, 1993-1997
270 Nathan W. Walton, 1996-2001
265 Marcus Schroeder
263 Brian W. Earl, 1995-99
260 Armond G. Hill, 1975-76
253 William D. Venable, 2001-2005
With a minimum of 10 games left in his senior year, Schroeder (3.3 assists per game this season) has an outside chance of becoming just the fifth Tiger to record 300+ assists.
Steals:
169 Sydney A. Johnson, 1993-97
167 William F. Ryan, 1981-84
167 George H. Leftwich, 1988-92
156 William D. Venable, 2001-05
144 Gabriel E. Lewullis, 1995-99
144 Joseph W. Scott, 1984-87
142 Mitchell G. Henderson, 1994-98
142 Marcus Schroeder
140 Brian W. Earl, 1995-99
136 Armond G. Hill, 1975-76
Schroeder (2.1 steals per game) also could make a run at Coach Johnson's career steal mark if the right number of strips, deflections and official scoring decisions go his way between now and his final game.
