Men's soccer beats Lehigh, 2-1

The men's soccer team continued its run of success last night, beating No. 18 Lehigh, 2-1, in Lehigh, Pa.

Lehigh (11-5 overall, 4-2 Patriot League) jumped out to a 1-0 lead 22 minutes, 30 seconds into the game, when sophomore Steve Fisher pushed a header past Princeton goalie Jason White.

From then on out, Princeton (9-2-5, 4-1-1 Ivy League) locked down on the Lehigh offense, which was without two of its leading scorers.

The Tigers tied the game 11 minutes into the second half when senior midfielder Benjy Diggs scored his first career goal off an assist from senior forward Lucas Moskowitz.

Senior forward Mike Nugent then drilled the game winner in the 79th minute, taking a feed from senior midfielder Matt Behncke and beating the Mountain Hawk keeper with a shot to the right corner of the goal. The goal was Nugent's 12th on the season, extending his team lead.

With the win, the Tigers are now unbeaten in their last nine games, a streak that stretches back to a 1-0 loss to Harvard on Oct. 6.
