Penn State opened the scoring early, cashing in on a penalty corner at 2:53. Heather Conroy took a shot from the top of the circle that goalkeeper Kelly Baril gt a piece of but could not control as it bounced over her into the net.
The Nittany Lions extended the lead to 2-0 at 19:05 when Jill Martz scored off a corner. Heather Rigby passed her the ball and then she fired a shot from just inside the circle.
Princeton answered back at 22:33 when Ilvy Friebe scored her 24th goal of the season. Friebe had successive chances in front, the first being blocked by Penn State defender Neilye Stoner, before scoring on her second shot.
