PRINCETON, N.J. — The No. 18-ranked Princeton University Tigers earned their sixth victory over a nationally ranked opponent with an 11-10 defeat of the No. 16 Wagner College Seahawks at DeNunzio Pool.
Wagner registered the final two goals of the first stanza to take a 4-2 advantage after eight minutes. The Seahawks kept their distance in the second frame, but a tally from Laura Larkin with 17 seconds to go got the Tigers within one, 5-4, at halftime.
Kailie McGeoy tied the contest for the first time since the first quarter to begin the second half. Wagner registered two of the next three tallies to jump back in front, 8-6, but Amy Castellano and Larkin countered, tying the game at eight-all with 95 seconds remaining in the third stanza. Wagner scored 12 seconds after Larkin’s tally, taking a 9-8 lead into the final frame.
Maddie Pendolino tied the contest for the fourth time with 6:45 left in the matchup. Eliza Britt, who was honored with Lindsey Kelleher for Senior Day before the game, picked the perfect time for her first goal.
Castellano’s fourth goal of the meeting provided an insurance tally. Webb made five saves in the fourth quarter as the Seahawks were held off the scoreboard for over nine minutes as Princeton secured the win.
The Tigers improved to 16-7 overall while Wagner dropped to 21-8 this season.
