Doneger scored four goals, three in the decisive third-quarter, to
lead No. 7 Princeton to a 12-9 win over Yale in front of 2,149 at the
Class of the 1952 Stadium.
The win came in the Ivy League opener for the Tigers, who have won
nine straight league championships. It was also Yale's first trip to
Princeton since the Bulldogs defeated the Tigers 15-13 in 2002 to end
Princeton's 37-game Ivy winning streak two games short of the
all-time record.
Boyle's five assists moved him into second place all-time at
Princeton with 134, one better than Jon Hess and 40 away from Kevin
Lowe for first place.
Yale, playing a deliberate style, led 5-4 at halftime and 6-4 eight
seconds into the third quarter on a Seth Goldberg goal before
Princeton scored the next seven to take command. Yale's first six
goals came on just 12 shots.
"Usually, the first goal of the second half is big, and they scored
in eight seconds," said Princeton coach Bill Tierney. "I was having
flashbacks to two years ago. But then we started playing well. We won
some face-offs. Guys started shooting better. We did what we had to
do."
Princeton led 2-0 and 4-2 in the first quarter, but Yale shut
Princeton out in the second quarter to build its halftime lead. Down
6-4 after Goldberg's goal, Princeton tied it 6-6 on a pair of Doneger
goals one minute apart to start the 7-0 run.
The Tigers would lead 9-6 after the third quarter and then stretch it
to 11-6 on goals by freshmen Scott Sowanick and Whitney Hayes to
start the fourth. Yale would get no closer than three the rest of the
way.
"This is the best the league has been in my four years," said Boyle
of the Ivy League, where all seven teams were either ranked or
receiving votes. "Each game is a huge challenge."
In addition to moving past Hess in assists, Boyle moved within three
points of tying Chris Massey for fourth all-time in points scored.
Boyle now has 55 goals and 134 assists.
"I'm not a big stat guy," Tierney said. "Never have been, never will
be. But when you start talking about the guys he's up there with,
that says a lot about what kind of player Ryan Boyle is."
Peter Trombino had two goals and two assists for Princeton. Goldberg
led Yale with three.
Princeton hosts Rutgers next Saturday (noon) in a game that will be
seen on College Sports Television.
