W. Soccer Set to Pounce on Princeton in Ivy Showdown

"I go in with Caitlin and x during the second half," Moore said. "Our fresh legs and hard work are pretty effective against defense, and hopefully we'll pick up another goal or two."

And Larson, who made the Ivy League's honor roll for her performance last weekend, is the hero of the Crimson defense.

The whole backfield has dominated this year, allowing only seven goals in twelve games, the lowest number in the entire league this year.

Princeton's offensive game, with its depth on the front line, will give the defense its biggest challenge yet. The Tigers have lit up their last six opponents, tallying 33 goals on the season, just one more goal than the Crimson.

Princeton's ability to apply constant pressure in the offensive zone has arguably been the main reason the team hasn't lost since mid-September, and will be a focal point for the Harvard defense tomorrow.

In its last game, the Tigers made 17 attempts on net, while Seton Hall only tried three times.

The Crimson need to shut down the co-captain Dana DeCore, a dangerous offensive force who was solely responsible for Princeton's tenth win of the year with a 1-0 shutout over Seton Hall on Wednesday.

Defensively, the Tigers also post solid numbers in Ivy League competition. Though Princeton's goaltender, Jordan Rettig, hovers around the middle of the pack in terms of goal keeping, she boasts a decent .733 saves percentage, and 0.98 goals against average.
