PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Lexi Pellegrino and Alexandra Madrid scored for the Bears (4-6, 2-2 Ivy) Friday afternoon as they traveled to Princeton (7-4, 4-0 Ivy) for some Ivy play, but ultimately fell 4-2 to the Tigers.

"We started out a little flat and Princeton took advantage of the early opportunities," said head coach Britt Broady. "It then became a very tight game and we attacked with a lot of energy and grit.

A minute later, Tiger Ella Cashman redirected a corner shot earning her a goal, she was assisted by Beth Yeager.

The Tigers followed as Skyes recorded her second goal of the game. Yeager followed, recording a goal just over a minute later. Pru Lindsey and Izzy Morgan earned the assists.

"All of their goals were scored on penalty corners on which Beth Yaeger, a 2024 Olympian, plays a vital role for Princeton... and USA.
