No. 5 Princeton Races Past Columbia In Regular Season Finale

November 01, 2025 | Field Hockey

Box Score

The long list of Ivy League field hockey tournament scenarios that was sent out late Friday night had two certainties on it. Harvard would be the No. 1 seed and host, and Princeton would be the No. 2 seed.

Still, the Tigers' regular season finale against Columbia Saturday afternoon in the regular season finale was hardly meaningless — especially with hopes of again playing on that same Bedford Field come NCAA tournament time.

No. 5 Princeton got goals from Caitlin Thompson, Pru Lindsey and Lilly Wojcik — the first of her career — en route to a 3-0 win over Columbia, ending the regular season at 13-3 overall, 6-1 in the Ivy League and on a nine-game winning streak.

Princeton will play its Ivy League tournament semifinal game Friday in Cambridge against Yale at 2:30 p.m. following the opening semifinal between No. 1 seed Harvard and No. 4 seed Brown at 11:30 a.m.. In addition, Princeton's top three RPI puts the team in position for a possible host role in the NCAA tournament in two weeks.

The Tigers scored more goals than it allowed shots, as Princeton's edge was 20-2 there. No Lion shot found its way on goal.

Princeton had seven first quarter shots without a goal before Thompson tipped in her seventh of the season off a flick from Beth Yeager on a penalty corner. Thompson leads Ivy League freshman in goals and came into the weekend ninth among Division I freshmen.

Lindsey then doubled the lead on a gorgeous reverse after dribbling into the circle. Wojcik's goal came off a rebound after a save on a shot from Ella Hampson.
