Box Score PRINCETON, N.J. –
Mallory Bannon scored her third goal of the season, but the Big Red field hockey team surrendered the last five goals in a 6-1 loss on Sunday afternoon at Princeton.
The Tigers, who kept pace with Yale for the Ivy League lead with the win, held dominating advantages in both shot (20-3) and penalty corners (9-1). But only Charlotte Krause scored in the first half, giving Princeton a 1-0 lead at the half.
Cornell (7-9, 1-5 Ivy League) answered with Bannon's unassisted goal, which came off a rebound from the Big Red's lone penalty corner. That tied the score just shy of nine minutes into the second half.
Princeton (8-7, 5-1) stormed back ahead a short time later with a pair of goals in a 33-second span. May-Ying Medalia tacked on another about three minutes later, and the Tigers pulled away with two more goals from Amanda Bird.
Alex Botte made six saves in the loss for the Big Red, which wraps up its season on the road against Dartmouth on Saturday, Nov. 5.
