The Tigers' defense was sparkling as it held the Athenas scoreless in the first quarter. Princeton scored three goals in the first eight minutes and four more times in the second frame as it took a 7-1 advantage into the intermission.
Princeton pitched a shutout in the third quarter, scoring three more times to take a commanding 10-1 advantage into the final frame. Kasey Bersh finished up the contest for Ashleigh Johnson, who had five saves.

Hallock's four tallies led the Tigers while eight other players scored for head coach Luis Nicolao's unit. Princeton stole 18 passes, drew eight ejections and blocked two shots in the victory. Bersh made her first start in net, stopping nine shots and coming up with three swipes.
Princeton put the pressure on St. Francis early, recording nine goals in the first eight minutes of game action. Bersh held her ground as she allowed only one goal during that span. In front, 11-4, heading into the fourth stanza, the freshman goalie made four saves as the Tigers completed a 12-5 win.
