The top-ranked Princeton women's lacrosse team looks to extend a host of impressive streaks when its hosts Delaware in a non-conference game at Class of 1952 Stadium Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The game can be heard live on the internet at www.goprincetontigers.com.
The No. 1 Tigers (7-0) are one of three unbeaten teams (along with Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins) in NCAA Division I. Princeton has also won 16 consecutive games dating back to last season, the second-longest streak in program history. The Tigers have defeated Delaware 14 consecutive times, every season from 1990 through last year.
Princeton survived its toughest test to date this past Friday, coming from behind to defeat second-ranked Georgetown 9-7 in Washington, D.C. Theresa Sherry scored all three of her goals in a 1:49 span midway through the second half, turning a 5-4 Princeton deficit into a 7-5 Tiger lead. Ingrid Goldberg also had a career-best three goals for Princeton.
Delaware (2-5) has lost two straight entering Tuesday's game, including a 9-6 defeat at Towson in a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) game Sunday.
