Hartofilis broke out of an early-season slump with four goals and two
assists to lead Princeton to a 16-6 win over Rutgers at damp Class of 1952
Stadium Tuesday night.
The defending NCAA champion Tigers improved to 2-3 with the victory, while
Rutgers slipped to 2-6. Princeton's three losses have come to the top three
teams in this week's USILA poll.
Princeton took home the Meistrell Cup, given to the winner of the
Princeton-Rutgers game, for the 13th straight time.
"It's been frustrating for me," Hartofilis said. "This was a good game for
our team, and now we're looking forward to the rest of the season."
Drew Casino won the opening face-off for Princeton and pushed the ball to
Kyle Baugher, who raced in and scored nine seconds into the game. Casino
then won the next face-off to Baugher, who fed Hartofilis for the first of
his goals 10 seconds later.
"It was good to come right back after Saturday," said Princeton coach Bill
Tierney, whose team lost 11-8 to Syracuse Saturday in a rematch of the last
two NCAA championship games. "I think the guys wanted to get back and play.
We were disappointed with the way that game went, and it helped to play
right away on Tuesday."
Princeton led 4-0 at the end of the first quarter and 11-3 at intermission.
Hartofilis, a third-team All-America a year ago who had three goals and one
assist for the first four games, had his four goals and two assists before
intermission against the Scarlet Knights.
B.J. Prager and Brad Dumont scored three goals each for Princeton. The
Tigers scored their 16 goals on 31 shots. Jeff Duca was the only Rutgers
player with more than one goal.
Princeton opens pursuit of its eighth straight Ivy League title Saturday (3
p.m.) against Yale. The Tigers have won 37 straight league games, two off
the all-time league record set by Cornell from
1972-79.
