Paternoster's First Career Goal LIfts Tigers to Win at Columbia
October 14, 2018 | Women's Soccer
Amy Paternoster scored enough goals in her career at Wall High School along the Jersey Shore to earn 2017 Gatorade State Player of the Year honors in the Garden State.
Sunday at Columbia, her first goal as a Tiger was a big one.
It came with less than eight minutes to go when Courtney O'Brien found Paternoster in a one-on-one with Columbia keeper Sophie Whitehouse, and Paternoster slid the ball just outside of Whitehouse's reach for what became the only goal in Princeton's 1-0 win at Columbia Sunday afternoon on ESPNU.
Even bigger than that - or the 22nd career shutout Natalie Grossi notched to tie her with Jordan Rettig '01 for the second-most in a career in Princeton history - were the three Ivy League standings points the Tigers needed and achieved. The win keeps Princeton three points back of Penn and Harvard and even with Dartmouth in the Ivy standings.Â
Princeton, at 8-3-2 overall and 2-1-1 in the Ivy, has to face both Harvard and Penn as well as Cornell, with the Crimson the first of those in a visit to Princeton next Saturday at 1 p.m. Penn and Harvard now each have 10 points with Princeton and Dartmouth at seven and Columbia with six.Â
The Lions doubled up the Tigers in overall shots, 12-6, and had three shots on goal to two for Princeton.
Postgame Notes
• Princeton's goal was its first against Columbia in three years, as the Lions had 2-0 wins over Princeton in both 2016 and 2017, with last year's loss the only one in the Ivy for a Tiger team that didn't lose again until the NCAA quarterfinals at UCLA.
• Grossi is now one shutout behind Kelly O'Dell '84 for the most in a Princeton career. O'Dell has 23 to 22 for both Grossi and Rettig.
