PRINCETON, N.J. – Playing its final non-league game of the season the Lehigh women's soccer team fell 5-1 to Princeton Tuesday night at Roberts Stadium. The defending Ivy League champions scored twice in the game's first 18 minutes and never looked back.
Â
Sophomore Taylor Latini netted her second goal of the season in the 84th minute to put the Mountain Hawks on the scoreboard. Lehigh falls to 3-9-3 on the season.
Â
Five different players scored for Princeton (5-5-3). Goals from Dylan Jovanovic and Alexandra Barry put the Tigers up 2-0 after 17:25. Isabella Garces scored 4:15 before halftime to give the Tigers a 3-0 halftime lead. Maddie Recupero netted the fourth goal 38 seconds into the second half, while Sarah Houston capped the scoring for Princeton in the 57th minute.
Â
Lehigh finally broke through with just under seven minutes remaining. Junior Aminah Baruwa ran onto a long ball in the box and saw her shot saved by Princeton's Cecelia Cerone. The ball eventually redirected towards the middle of the box with Latini right-footing it into the upper right corner of the net.
Shots favored Princeton 26-10 and the Tigers had an 11-1 advantage in corners. Latini, Baruwa and senior Sophia Lis all had two shots to lead Lehigh.
Â
Junior R'Reeyah Mabry-Francis made four saves for Lehigh. Cerone split time in net with Sydney Romano for Princeton and made two second-half saves.
