Top-seeded Princeton (17-2) dismantled second-seeded Notre Dame (13-3), 16-9, behind a relentless offensive attack that turned a marquee matchup into a runaway. The Tigers' seven-goal margin told the story: Princeton simply could not be slowed when it mattered most.
What decided it was Princeton's ability to pile on. Scoring 16 against a program of Notre Dame's caliber requires depth, precision, and a refusal to let up — and the Tigers delivered all of it. Every time the Irish tried to build momentum, Princeton had an answer, keeping the pressure dialed up from start to finish.
For Princeton, the win cements their standing as the team to beat and sends a message that the road to a national title runs through them. For Notre Dame, a 13-win season ends in disappointment, but the experience of facing the nation's best will fuel a hungry group come fall.
