By the time the Manhasset, N.Y. native picked up her goal, though, the Tigers had already scored 17 of their own, and the result was out of reach for the Crimson. Three more Princeton goals in the closing 15 minutes of the matchup, including two in man-up situations, made sure of the Tigers victory.

Princeton also closed out the first half with four unanswered goals, sending the teams into the break with the score at 10-4 in the Tigers’ favor. But prior to the Princeton run, the game had been quite close.

The Tigers drew first blood, but Harvard responded quickly through MacAfee. The sophomore picked up a pass from classmate and attacker Nicole Baiocco and finished from close range to tie the score at one apiece three minutes into the game.

Princeton retook the lead, but freshman midfielder Katie Muldoon scored on a free position opportunity just 40 seconds afterwards to restore the tie.

Sophomore midfielder Caroline Garrity would repeat the pattern at 15:57 in the first half, when she whipped the ball into the top of the Princeton net after receiving a pass from Romeo. The goal tied the game up once again at 3-3 after a free position finish for the Tigers.

Princeton would break the streak with three unanswered goals before Garrity scored again, finishing off a give-and-go move with McMahon to narrow the Tigers’ lead to two points.

After Garrity’s second score, Princeton would take over, going on a 14-1 run to close out the game.

“It was a tough loss, but we still have three more Ivy League games to go, so we are looking ahead to preparing for Brown [next weekend],” tri-captain midfielder Megan Hennessey said.
