CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (3/19/11) - Princeton and Virginia have played each other tightly in women's lacrosse since the first meeting in 1989 and today was no different. The Cavaliers took a 10-9 game at Klockner Stadium, marking the 13th one-goal game in series history.
Shots were nearly even with No. 8 Virginia taking a slim 23-22 edge over No. 15 Princeton. The Cavaliers won the ground ball battle 21-16 and had 13 draws to the Tigers' eight.
Junior Barb Previ had a hat trick and freshman Sarah Lloyd had two goals for the Tigers. Sophomore Jaci Gassaway earned two assists while senior Maisie Devine and sophomore Sam Ellis had a goal and an assist each.
Julie Gardner paced the Virginia offense with four points on three goals and one assist. Charlie Finnigan had a hat trick while Josie Owen and Mady Keeshan both had two-point games. In goal Kim Kolarik made six saves.
The game got started with both teams scoring a goal within a minute of each other as the score stood 2-2 just about 10 minutes into the game. Lloyd scored her first collegiate goal and Previ had her first of three on the afternoon.

Princeton responded with a three-goal run to close out the half down by one, 6-5. Devine ended the scoring drought for the Tigers with a tally from Gassaway at 5:10. Sophomore Caroline Rehfuss converted on a free-position attempt and 17 seconds later Ellis put away a Gassaway pass after causing a turnover.
Gardner would score her first of three second-half goals to open the second half, but Previ answered back 18 seconds later.
Gardner and Finnigan would each score to put Virginia ahead by three, 9-6 before Lloyd got her second of the afternoon at the 20-minutes mark on a pass from Ellis.
After Gardner's tally at 16:28, the Cavaliers would be held scoreless for the remainder of the game.
Senior defender Caroline Markowitz recorded her first goal of the season at 12:55 to make it 10-8.
After a yellow card was assessed to Virginia, Previ converted on the free-position shot to make it a one-goal game, 10-9, with 3:13 on the clock, but the Tigers could not get the equalizer.
