Senior Lindsey Kelly finished with a double-double, tallying a match-high 49 assists along with 20 digs. Freshman Lucia Scalamandre compiled a match-high six blocks, while senior Cameron Dames had a match-high 25 digs.
The first set began as a back-and-forth battle, but a 3-0 run led off by a senior Avery Luoma and Scalamandre double block gave the Tigers a 12-10 lead. Kills by sophomore Nicole Dankinova and Luoma put Princeton ahead, 20-18, but a 3-0 Pirate run saw Seton Hall jump ahead, 21-20.
