3 Last Meeting No. 15 Princeton 11, No. 10 Cornell 7 May 1, 2015 Stevenson Field Providence, R.I. PROVIDENCE, R.I. No. 15 Princeton scored three unanswered goals in the third quarter and held the Big Red scoreless for a stretch of 31:01, then stifled a late Cornell rally to avenge the previous weekend s loss in Ithaca, advancing to the Ivy League Tournament finals with an 11-7 victory at Brown s Stevenson Field. Matt Donovan was outstanding with one goal and four assists and Domenic Massimilian won 11-of-19 faceoffs, but Cornell ran into a hot goalie in the Tigers Tyler Blaisdell who made 14 saves and surrendered just seven goals to earn the win. Massimilian also picked up seven ground balls, giving him 138 on the year to break Doug Tesoriero s school record for ground balls in a single season (133). Connor Buczek chipped in two goals as Cornell s only other multi-goal scorer. Short stick defensive midfielder Chris Cook had a solid game with five ground balls and three of the team s five caused turnovers, while Marshall Peters picked up three ground balls and had an impressive defensive effort in holding Princeton s Kip Orban to one goal and just four shots. Princeton was led by Mike MacDonald s four goals and two assists, while Gavin McBride registered his first career hat trick in the win. For the second week in a row, the statistics were fairly even between the two teams with Cornell holding a slim edge in shots (33-32) and shots on goal (21-19) and turning the ball over two fewer times than Princeton (14-12). The Big Red also won three more face-offs (11-of-19), but several times the Tigers were able to win the ball back with timely caused turnovers. Both teams picked up 28 ground balls. Also for the second week in a row, the game seemed to turn on one dominant quarter. Previously, it was the Big Red scoring nine unanswered in the second quarter to give the home team a lead it wouldn t relinquish. This game, it was the Tigers using long possessions and taking advantage of several Cornell turnovers to score the only three goals of the third quarter to go up, 8-3. The Big Red responded by scoring four of the first five goals of the fourth quarter to make it a two-goal game at 9-7 with just over three minutes to play, but Blaisdell posted his 14th save of the game on Cornell s next possession and the Tigers cashed in a pair of late goals to account for the 11-7 final.
