PRINCETON -- While it lacked for goals, it sure didn't lack for excitement.
The Princeton women's soccer team played Brown to a 0-0 draw Saturday evening on Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium, with a combination of near-misses by Tiger strikers and some on-point saves by Bears goalkeeper Brenna Hogue keeping Princeton from extending its winning streak to a sixth game.
Though the Tigers settled for a draw, Princeton extended its streak without allowing a goal to a sixth full game and 600 minutes in all. Princeton is undefeated in eight straight and remains in a tie atop the Ivy League with Columbia and Penn after those teams played to a draw Friday night. Columbia is next up on Princeton's Ivy League schedule.
After getting outshot 6-1 in the first half, Princeton won that statistic 15-6 the rest of the way and forced Hogue to make seven saves on the game. Princeton goalkeeper Alyssa Pont made five saves.
"We spent most of our halftime challenging our forwards to make a difference in the second half," Princeton head coach Julie Shackford said. "They did a better job of staying high, stretching the defense and we got dangerous in the second half."
The Tigers will host Lehigh Wednesday at 7 p.m. before returning to Ivy play at Columbia next Saturday.
