Besides the crowd, a dog running on to the field early in the first half contributed to a circus-like atmosphere. The referees allowed play to continue for a full minute before carting the dog off the field.
[The dog exhibited a fearless, magnet-ball style of play. It came close to stealing the ball from Fisher as she dribbled the ball up the left sideline, but she took a shot from 30 yards out to avoid the canine.]
Whether it was the crowd, the pets or Princeton's high level of play, the Crimson overcame every adverse situation it had to deal with on Friday, triumphing in its first night game since the loss to Brown in late September.
"We were young [back then],' Wheaton said. "We knew we were going to be young this year. We graduated a ton and we've had injuries. But each day we try to pick it up a level. We really came together as a team today and I'm proud of them."
