The 15th-ranked Princeton field hockey team visits Yale and Albany this weekend as the Tigers play the second and third games of a four-game road stretch. Princeton improved to 5-1 overall with a win on Wednesday at Penn State.
Princeton, which started the season 3-0 before a double overtime setback last week to Connecticut, has now won its last two games as it begins another winning streak. The Tigers got their fourth win last Saturday in a 4-0 home shutout of Dartmouth and made it two wins in a row by edging Penn State on Wednesday.
Although Princeton outshot Penn State 20-13, the Tigers did all their damage in the 3-2 win in a three minutes spurt in the first half. Down 1-0, senior Katie Kinzer scored at 20:02 to even the score and Princeton went ahead for good when freshman Katie Reinprecht scored 26 seconds later. The Tigers got an insurance goals 2:10 later from freshman Kathleen Sharkey and never looked back in the win. Junior goalkeeper Cynthia Wray made five saves for her first win of the season.
The win was big for the Tigers as Princeton picked up its first win of the season against a ranked opponent. It was also a win against a team that the Tigers have historically struggled against. Princeton entered the game 3-22 all-time against the Nittany Lions and 0-10 in games played at Penn State.
Offensively the Tigers find a pair of freshmen leading the team in scoring. Reinprecht, who has now had recorded points in all five of her games played, lead the team with 12 points on four goals and four assists. She had the game-winning goal and an assist at Penn State. Reinprecht ranks a point ahead of Sharkey, whose five goals leads the team. She also has one assist to her credit for 11 points this season. Senior Holly McGarvie, who had an assist at Penn State, comes next with 10 points and junior Christina Bortz is fourth with nine.
Princeton's win over Penn State gave the Tigers a win over a team ranked higher than them in the polls. Princeton is currently the 15th-ranked team in the latest STX/NFHCA Coaches Poll. Princeton is now 1-1 against ranked teams this season, falling to then fifth-ranked Connecticut 3-2 in double-overtime, and defeating Penn State 3-2. The Tigers have ranked opponents?Maryland, American and Albany?and teams receiving votes?Providence, Villanova and Columbia?remaining on their schedule.
Princeton heads to New Haven on Saturday for its sixth road game and second Ivy League contest of the season. The Tigers have controlled the all-time series with Yale, leading 32-2-3 and winning 23 straight meetings. Princeton has not lost to Yale since the 1977 season and is 27-0-3 in the 30-year span. The Tigers are 15-1-2 all-time against Yale. Last season Princeton defeated Yale 2-0 at Class of '52 Stadium to open the Ivy season. McGarvie and senior Sarah Reinprecht scored goals for Princeton and Wray made two saves for the shutout.
Yale is 2-3 overall and 0-1 in the Ivy League. The Bulldogs split two games last weekend, falling 1-0 at Harvard in their league opener, and defeating Sacred Heart 6-1 the following afternoon. Yale's other win came against Holy Cross and the Bullogs also have losses to Connecticut and Providence. Ashley McCauley leads Yale with four goals ad eight points.
The Tigers will travel 150 miles northwest to take on Albany on Sunday in the second-ever meetings between the Tigers and the Great Danes. Princeton won the only meeting between the schools in September of 2005 by a 3-0 score at home. Senior Kristin Schwab scored the game winner for the Tigers.
Albany is currently ranked 18th in the nation with a 5-4 overall record, but has dropped its last two games entering the weekend. Albany lost 1-0 to Colgate on Wednesday and previously fell 4-3 in double overtime to Ken State. Albany also has a double overtime loss to Cal this season. The Danes have wins over Radford, Cornell, Hofstra, Stanford and Michigan. Albany visits Massachusetts on Saturday prior to returning home to play the Tigers on Sunday.
