In front by one, the Tritons registered three straight goals, taking a 6-2 lead after eight minutes. The Tigers got within one on two occasions in the second quarter, but still trailed 8-6 at the intermission.
Princeton made a push after halftime, coming all the way to back to tie the game at nine-all by the 4:12 mark of the third stanza. Miles Cole‘s tally with 25 seconds to go in the third, set the score at 10-all.
Michael Swart and Jordan Colina scored the first two goals of the final quarter to provide Princeton a 12-10 lead. The Tigers maintained a lead throughout the frame until a tally from the Tritons with 33 seconds left knotted the game at 14-all.
However, Colina answered back 21 seconds later by burying the game-winner with 12 seconds left on the clock.
