Princeton, NJ - Princeton made only four field goals in the second half of play and finished the game with 23 turnovers as St. Francis (NY) shocked the Tigers with a 69-64 win at Jadwin Gym on Sunday afternoon. It was the Terriers first win of the season and Princeton's fourth straight loss.

Down 62-61, Colleen Carbone weaved through traffic in the lane and gave the Terriers a one-point lead with her lay-up around the two-minute mark. Carbone came back and nailed a three-pointer on St. Francis' next possession to make the score 66-62. The Terriers would not relinquish their lead.
