Princeton secured a 16-9 victory over Notre Dame, using a relentless offensive attack to separate from the second-ranked Fighting Irish and reinforce their hold on the No. 1 spot. The Tigers' 16-goal outburst proved to be the decisive factor, as Princeton's attack simply outpaced anything the Irish could muster on the other end.
For Notre Dame, a 13-3 campaign against the nation's elite ends in frustration, but a season that included a run to the sport's final weekend is nothing to hang heads about. The Irish went toe-to-toe with the best all year and earned their place on this stage.
For Princeton, now 17-2, the message is clear: the road to a national title runs through them. The Tigers look every bit the part of a champion, and they're not done yet.
