Lions goalkeeper Ainsley Pearce made five saves in her first career start
NEW YORK — Columbia field hockey battled No. 8 Princeton hard for 60 minutes on Friday night in its season finale, but fell 3-1 to the Tigers at the Columbia Field Hockey Complex.
Columbia finished the year at 9-6 (3-4 Ivy). The Lions' nine victories were the program's most since 2017. Goalkeeper Ainsley Pearce got her first career start in cage and kept the Lions in the match, recording five saves.
Clem Houlden scored Princeton's first goal off a penalty corner with 56 seconds left in the first quarter. Izzy Morgan and Saylor Milone were credited with assists.
The Tigers (12-4, 6-1) doubled their lead 3:31 into the second quarter when Pru Lindsey converted on a penalty stroke, tucking the ball just under the crossbar.
Columbia got on the board with 11:06 renaming in the third quarter. Norah Veldhuizen put home a pass to the side of the cage by Delfina Gonzalez Lobo for her second goal of the season. The Tigers' lead was cut in half at 2-1.
Princeton added an insurance goal with just over six minutes to play in the march. Hope Delaney found the back of the net from an assist by Lindsey.
Jacinta Solari Etcheberry, Gonzalez Lobo, and Veldhuizen each recorded a shot for the Lions. Princeton held the advantage in penalty corners, 6-3.
