PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 3 Princeton Tigers (11-3 overall, 4-0 Ivy) honored their alumnae returning with a dominating 8-0 victory over the Brown Bears (4-8, 0-4 Ivy) on Saturday afternoon.

Five different players scored for Princeton, highlighted by Julianna Tornetta's first career hat trick. Ali McCarthy also registered two tallies while six Tigers also snagged an assist. The team's 22 points in the game are tied for the 10th highest in a single game in program history.

The Tigers wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as Annabeth Donovan picked up a loose ball in front of the cage and slid it in just 1:50 into the game.

On its first corner of the game, Princeton executed it perfectly as Tornetta's first tally was a big blast from the top of the circle.

Tornetta had another tally waved off during a corner as her foot was outside the circle. That's about the only thing to go wrong for Princeton as the sophomore added on to the lead with 10:30 to go. She was left open in the circle and MaryKate Neff found her for a hard shot that got through.

Right before the half, Hannah Davey corralled a rebound and passed it to McCarthy. The freshman dribbled around the goalie and whipped it in. The Tigers finished with 18 shots in the first half and six corners.

Roth opened up the scoring in the second half with an impressive individual effort, getting around the goalie and securing her 10th goal of the year.

McCarthy deposited her second tally of the game 12 minutes into the second half. After her initial shot, she took the rebound, circled the goalie and pushed it in. It's her second consecutive multi-goal game.

Tornetta wrapped up the scoring, posting a penalty stroke tally with 4:14 to go in the matchup. Princeton completed the game with 42 shots, 29 reaching the cage. It also held a 11-2 corner advantage. Brown goalies combined to make 21 saves.

The Tigers' eight goals were the most they've scored since an 11-1 victory over Brown last year (Oct. 14). Princeton also held Brown without a shot, marking the first time it held an opponent without an attempt since Oct. 16, 2016 against Towson.

Princeton's winning streak now stands at six games. The Tigers host No. 11 Harvard (12-1, 4-0 Ivy) in a battle of the two remaining undefeated conference foes next Saturday (Oct. 20). The game will get underway at 12 p.m.
