| • Princeton was unbeaten the last three years against Columbia, but the Lions picked up their first win in the series since 2010, also the last time the Lions shut the Tigers out on the scoreboard. Princeton now leads the series 20-6-4. • Tyler Lussi and Lauren Lazo, who have combined to score 17 of the team's 22 goals this season, co-led Princeton with four shots apiece as the team outshot Columbia 12-4. • Princeton was shut out for the first time since a 0-0 tie against Seton Hall on Sept. 8 in the season's second game. • Now past the midway point of the Ivy League schedule, five teams are within five points of first place, with Harvard (3-0-1, 10 pts), Columbia and Princeton (each 2-1-1, 7 pts), Dartmouth (1-0-3, 6 pts) and Yale (1-1-2, 5 pts) still within two games of the top. |

Princeton will host Harvard (8-3-2, 3-0-1) Saturday at 4 p.m. on Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium as the Crimson look to hold on to first place in the Ivy League and the Tigers look to join them there. |
