Harvard recorded the first three goals of the game, but Princeton roared back with the final four tallies of the first quarter highlighted by two from Yurian Quinones. The Crimson scored the first goal of the second stanza, but Princeton rallied to take a 6-5 advantage into halftime.
After Harvard tied the game to start the second half, three consecutive goals by the Tigers put head coach Dustin Litvak's squad ahead, 9-6. The Crimson got as close as two, but Princeton kept its distance to secure a 12-9 decision.

The Engineers were shut out in the second half as Princeton scored seven times to earn the double-digit victory. Mason Killion paced the Tigers' offense with four tallies.
