HOW IT HAPPENED
Boston College jumped out to a 5-1 lead just over 15 minutes into the game. Tess Chandler got the scoring started at the 28:28 mark on a pass from Emma Schurr.
The Eagles' Kaileen Hart responded with three straight tallies - her first coming on a delivery from Sam Apuzzo at the 22:07 mark. Hart scored again on a free possession after a foul called on Princeton goalkeeper Sam Fish. The senior attacker made it 4-1 on a hesitation move with 16:51 left in the first half.
After a Cara Urbank goal (14:34), Princeton added two unanswered to trim the BC lead to 5-3 with 11:45 to play in the half. BC would respond with two unanswered scores of its own. With Sam Apuzzo sitting out (yellow card), Hart struck again on a short-handed goal (10:02). Tess Chandler's quick stick goal at the 8:37 mark made it 7-3 in favor of the Maroon & Gold.
Apuzzo would register her 80th goal of the season - an unssisted score - to close out the half as BC took a 9-4 lead into the halftime break. BC would outshoot Princeton, 15-9, through the first 30:00 of play.
Princeton put on the pressure in the second half, scoring three times through the first 10 minutes of play, getting within three (10-7). Back-to-back Eagles goals - from Arsenault (17:12) and Chandler (12:02) - pushed the lead to 12-7 and the advantage back to four goals.
A Tigers goal with 11:13 made it 12-8 before Boston College began to turn up the pressure on both sides of the field. Â
The Eagles scored on their next two possessions - a quick stick score by Urbank from Arsenault (10:21) before a rocket by Taylor Walker, finding the upper left corner with 9:29 to play on a liner just inside the scoring zone. Walker's tally made it a six-goal lead for BC - at 14-8.
On the next possession, the BC defense forced Princeton into a shot clock violation w. ith 7:52 to go.Lauren Daly made two big saves with under 4:00 minutes, halting the Princeton attack.
Chandler's goal with 47.2 seconds remaining, on a delivery from Apuzzo, iced the victory for the Eagles.
