Princeton rallied in each half to knock off homestanding Liberty Saturday afternoon in Lynchburg, 80-74. That's when Ben Hazel, who had a career-high 18 points, took over. Hazel scored 10 straight Princeton points, including fueling a 7-0 run to tie the game at 57-57, and it was a back-and forth battle into the final two minutes before Princeton pulled away. |

| Hans Brase grabbed an offensive rebound off a Will Barrett missed free throw when it was 71-67 Princeton with 1:45 to go. Brase also scored on that possession to put Princeton up six with 79 seconds to play. |
