"They weren't playing well for most of the first half and we had a lot of good chances early on," Hench said.
Despite having the wind on their side in the first half, Princeton was unable to galvanize its stagnant offense for most of the first 45 minutes of the match.
The Tigers got lucky with 2 minutes left in the half when Adams took a lead pass from senior midfielder Brien Wassner inside the Harvard penalty box and put it past Meagher from 12 yards out.
The Tigers, which outshot the Crimson 15-10 in the match, used the momentum from its late first-half goal to keep the pressure on as the second half began.
Princeton finally broke through with Rein's goal at 75:08. The Tigers never looked back.
The game was not nearly as physical as Harvard's previous match with Holy Cross--only about half the fouls--but the final result was equally disappointing for the Crimson.
"It was a disappointing loss, but hopefully we can end the season on a positive note," Kelly said.
