Will Evans won in five games at No. 1 to give Princeton the deciding point in its 5-4 win over Yale in the national men's semifinals Saturday afternoon.
Princeton, the second seed, will face No. 1 Trinity Sunday afternoon for the title. Trinity defeated Princeton 8-1 last Saturday in a regular season match.
As was the case during the regular season match between the teams that decided the Ivy League championship, Princeton won the top five while Yale took the bottom four.
Evans gave Princeton the deciding point this time, rallying from down two games to one to win in five.
