Princeton increased the lead to 3-0 in the second stanza, when Anna Marie Holmes directed a Becky Stewart pass behind Wayne State goalie Tina Thibideau.
Stewart and freshman Tarah Clark scored the Tigers' final two goals in the third period. Kilbourn and Gooldy finished the afternoon with a pair of assists.
