Colgate's Madeline Palumbo scored just a few minutes later on an even strength goal to make it a 2-2 game.

The Raiders evened the score with 13 minutes remaining in regulation with a goal from Alexis Petford. Both teams had their opportunities, but the clock hit zero and sent the game into overtime where Princeton closed out the game with the win.
The win is the highest ranked win for Princeton since defeating No. 3 Colgate in game 1 of the 2023 ECAC quarterfinals.
