The Tigers took a 2-1 lead after a quarter and continued to build on that lead throughout the game, stretching the margin to two goals at the half and four after three quarters. Drew Hoffenberg finished the game with a team-high three goals, two coming with the man advantage, and he drew two ejections.
Connor Still, A.J. Galainena Kurt Buchbinder and Kayj Shannon each scored two goals in the win. Tyler Amina made two saves in each quarter to finish the game with eight stops. Princeton scored on seven of nine man-up chances in the win, while the Colonials converted on three of five chances.
The win moves the Tigers to 10-1 overall and 2-1 in the Southern Division. The Tigers head out to California next week to play games against Loyola Marymount and USC on Thursday, followed by the SoCal Tournament on Saturday and Sunday.
