The Lions open up Ivy League action Saturday at Princeton on ESPN+
NEW YORK – Columbia women's lacrosse will open up Ivy League action on Saturday afternoon, making the trip to No. 14 Princeton for a 3 p.m. ET opening draw at Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium.
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
Coming off a jam-packed week which saw the Lions play three games in five days, Columbia (2-2) turns right back around to prepare for its Ivy-opener against the Tigers.
After facing Fairfield last Wednesday, Columbia traveled across the country the following day to play a pair of games in Tempe, Arizona. On Friday, Columbia used a career-high five goals from senior midfielder Lindsey Ewertsen and a career-first hat trick from sophomore attacker Chelsea Witteck to take down Arizona State, 12-9. The Lions are looking to bounce back from a tough 16-7 loss to San Diego State on Sunday afternoon.
Six different Columbia players have registered multiple-goal games this season, while 11 Lions have posted goals in the 2019 campaign. Sophomore attacker Alexandria Absey and Ewertsen lead the team with nine goals apiece.
Columbia has been sharing the ball well, with 22 assists on 44 goals in 2019. Senior attacker Emily Manville has dished out a team-high seven assists ahead of Evertsen's six dimes.
SCOUTING PRINCETON
The Tigers are 2-1 on the young season, most recently having defeated No. 8 Penn State, 21-10, in Princeton on Wednesday evening. Princeton outscored the visiting Nittany Lions, 12-3, in the first half alone, led by five first-half goals from junior Tess D'Orsi. D'Orsi leads the Tigers in their scoring efforts this season with 13 goals.
In the all-time series history, Princeton leads 21-0.
ON DECK
Columbia continues its non-conference slate Tuesday, March 5, traveling to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to take on Lehigh at 3 p.m.
