POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. – The No. 14 Princeton Tigers earned a split during the final day of the Marist Invitational, dropping an 11-10 decision to the No. 19 Wagner Seahawks, but defeating the Siena Saints, 20-10.

Amy Castellano's goal with 34 seconds left in the first quarter tied the contest at 2-all. Notted at 3-all, Wagner registered the next two goals before Princeton managed to tie the game for a fourth time (5-5) with 44 seconds to go in the first half. Wagner took a 6-5 lead into the intermission.
The Seahawks picked up three of the first four tallies of the second half jumping in front, 9-6, at the 4:42 mark. Princeton rallied, tying the game at 9-all as Laura Larkin scored right before the buzzer as the third quarter ended.
