Smith's record day helps Columbia defeat Princeton 28-24

PRINCETON, N.J. -- Anders Hill connected with Ronald Smith II for a 63-yard touchdown with 1:12 to play, Ben McKeighan followed with a game-saving interception and Columbia defeated defending league co-champion Princeton 28-24 in an Ivy League opener on Saturday. Hill tossed a short slant to Smith who turned it into the winning touchdown. Hill threw for 400 yards, the first Lion to do that since 2011, and Smith had 10 receptions for a school-record 236 yards and two touchdowns. McKeighan's second interception of the day -- at the Lions' 28 with 32 seconds left -- allowed Columbia (3-0) to snap a six-game losing streak against the Tigers (2-1), start a season 3-0 for the first time since 1996 and win four straight for the first time since the '96 team started 6-0.
