Princeton rides a two-game winning streak into Tuesday's match against Saint Joseph's, each victory a clean sheet for the group. After dropping their first two matches of 2021, The Tigers have outscored their opponents by a margin of 5-0 during the back-to-back shutout wins.
The Tigers have a decided edge in shots taken over their opponents this season, taking 69 shots to just 30 by opposing teams. In fact, Princeton has as many shots on goal (30) as opponents have total shots through four matches. Nationally, Princeton ranks No. 9 in the country in shots on goal-per-game (7.5) and No. 11 in shots per game (17.25).
Francis Akomeah-Sirleaf has scored in back-to-back games to lead the team in scoring. After adding an insurance tally in a 2-0 win at Colgate, he connected in the 7th minute against Fairfield for an early strike and 1-0 Princeton lead. Walker Gillespie and Daniel Diaz-Bonilla would follow with goals in the second half to secure the 3-0 win over the Stags.
The Tigers have held opponents scoreless for 188:10 of game play dating back to the final minutes of a 2-0 loss at Vermont. The last time Princeton posted back-to-back shutout wins was in 2018 when the Tigers defeated Harvard (3-0) and Cornell (2-0) on consecutive weeks from October 20-27.
Scouting Saint Joseph's
After dropping their first three games of 2021, Saint Joseph's has split its last two matches, including a 3-1 win to open A10 play at George Mason on Friday. The Hawks trailed, 1-0, at the half but put three in the back of the net in the final 45. Before that, Saint Joseph's suffered a 2-1 defeat at Rutgers -- a team Princeton lost to 1-0 on an own goal in the season opener. Eight different players have scored a goal for the Hawks this season, Blake Driehus and Omry Perel each have a goal and an assist to lead the Hawks in scoring with three points.
