PRINCETON, N.J. -- Matt Bouraee scored his fourth goal of the season in the second half as the Cornell men's soccer team rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit for a 1-1 draw with Princeton on Saturday night in Princeton, N.J.

After Princeton's Antoine Hoppenot gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute, knocking in a rebound off a shot on a free kick, the Big Red (5-5-5, 0-2-3 Ivy League) evened the score in the 70th minute when Bouraee took a pass from Brett Sumpio and beat Princeton goalkeeper Sean Lynch with a shot to the far post.

Lynch picked up seven saves for Princeton (7-5-3, 2-2-1), while Cornell netminder Rick Pflasterer, making his third straight start, made 10 saves for the Big Red. Princeton out-shot the Big Red, 24-13, for the match.

Cornell closes out the road slate next weekend when it travels to Dartmouth for a 4 p.m. match in Hanover, N.H.
