"We were excited to get out of the library and finally have a game, for sure," said senior forward DiCesare, a native of York, Maine.
"We haven't played Robert Morris yet so we didn't know what to expect. We were fired up and ready to go."
DiCesare got the Tigers off to a good start in their first action since a loss at Cornell on January 14, scoring a goal late in the first period to give Princeton a 1-0 lead over the Colonials.
"We always pass on our line when we have scoring opportunities,” said the feisty 5'4 DiCesare, reflecting on her fifth goal of the season and the 25th in her Princeton career.
"So this game, every time we had a chance, we wanted to shoot. That was exactly what Cookie [Kelly Cooke] did and it was a great rebound. It was great to see the line effort."
The Tigers continued that effort in the second period as defensemen Rose Alleva and Ali Pankowski scored to give Princeton a 3-1 edge heading into the final 20 minutes.
"All of our goals were team efforts; that was nice to see," added DiCesare. "There were assists on each goal."
