The Tigers took the game's first lead when Candice Arner scored on a reverse stick from the top of the circle in the game's fifth minute. Monmouth senior Hollee Hooven (Flemington, N.J./Hunterdon Central), playing in her final game, tied the game at 1-1 in the 15th minute off an assist from Janine Rini (Millstone Township, N.J./Allentown).

Princeton ended the game by scoring eight unanswered goals, three coming from Christina Bortz, to secure the win.

Princeton outshot Monmouth 32-5 and held a 10-3 advantage on penalty corner opportunities. Monmouth goalie Megan Smith (Easton, Pa./Easton) made 12 saves in the net, while Princeton's Cynthia Wray made four saves.

The Hawks will bid farewell to two seniors, Hooven and Annie LoPresti (Middletown, N.J./Middletown North), as both four-year players will graduate from Monmouth University.
