Ardila scored three goals in the loss to lead the Tigers, while sophomores Julie Phillips and Sierra Schelegle added goals. Sophomore Christina Michel had 10 saves in the loss.

The Tigers rebounded with a 13-6 win over Harvard in their final game of the weekend. Princeton built a 3-1 lead in the first quarter and never looked back as it ran to its second win of the season over the Crimson. Princeton led by three at the half and extended the final margin over the final two quarters.
Junior Phoebe Champion led the offense with six goals in the win and her classmate Helen Meigs added four more. Eight of Princeton's 13 goals in the win came in man-up situations. Freshman Kristen Ward made 14 saves.
