• This was the first meeting in the series between Princeton and Hampton.

• The 30-point margin of victory marked the third time Princeton has won by as many as 30 points this season, joining the wins over Lafayette (52) and FDU (30). It's the first time Princeton has had three 30-point wins in the first 12 games since the 1966-67 Tigers had three in their first 12.
