Women's soccer continues roll with pair of one-goal victories
It was Friday the 13th.The moon was full.At Lourie-Love Field, bodies were flying. But it wasn't a cheap horror film ? it was the women's soccer team defeating Brown in a very physical Ivy League game.In a battle of conference undefeated teams, both knew it was going to be a low-scoring game.The defenses of the league rivals had given up only five goals between them, and three of the nation's top goalkeepers were scheduled to play in the net.It was the Tigers (10-2 overall, 4-0 Ivy League) who came out victorious, 1-0, sending them to the top of the Ivy League.In the second game of the weekend, Princeton took on Boston University (9-5) in an ugly brawl, but came out with another 1-0 win.In Friday's fight for Ivy League dominance, the Tiger offense came out strong in the first half.Several times during the first half, Princeton attackers were able to get past the Bear goalkeeper, but each time a Brown defender was able to save the ball off of the goal line. BreakthroughAfter several close scoring opportunities, the Tiger attack came through on a Brown goal kick.Senior forward Tanya Kalivas headed the ball back into the box, where senior midfielder Julie Shaner was perfectly positioned.
