The only Ancient Eight game that Princeton struggled in was at Yale on the Elis' grass field, which the Tigers won 3-2 in overtime. At home on its astroturf, however, Princeton can be unbeatable; on Saturday, the Tigers were just that.
This coming Saturday, the Elis will take on Dartmouth (6-6, 1-2) in a battle for third place in the Ancient Eight. Dartmouth is coming off a busy week, topping UNH 2-1 but falling to Maine and getting thumped by No. 6 UConn, 5-1.
