Eye on the Tigers
Princeton started the 2015 season with a bang defeating No. 9 Loyola 10-8 here on Sherrerd Field on Saturday. It was redemption for the Tigers who lost to the Greyhounds in last year's season opener in Baltimore, 15-10. The Tigers moved up four places in the national poll and are now No. 11.
Senior Erin Slifer had a six-point game with a career-high five goals and one assist. Senior Erin McMunn and junior Stephanie Paloscio both scored twice, well sophomore Olivia Hompe tallied two assists. Four others made their way into the scoresheet. McMunn had a team-best five draw controls while freshman Hayley Giraldi had four. Both senior Annie Woehling and sophomore Ellie DeGarmo saw action in goal. Woehling got the start and made three saves on 10 shots in 42 minutes before DeGarmo took over to make three saves on four shots to earn the win.
