"I felt that we needed someone up there toscore," Petruccelli said. "I left the middle, andI pushed up there just hoping to get some sort ofgoal. It didn't work for us."
The match was hotly contested throughout asboth teams engaged in extremely physical play. Atotal of 35 fouls were called in the game, andfour yellow cards were issued.
The most egregious violation came at the 51:55mark when Princeton's Matt Striebel streaked intothe box after a ball. Dupuis beat Striebel to theball and controlled it, but Striebel did not slowdown and plowed into Dupuis.
Dupuis took exception to the hit, and got rightin Striebel's face as senior sweeper Lee Williamscame back to let Striebel know his play wasunappreciated. The referee immediately called fora time stoppage and issued Striebel a yellow card.
