HANOVER, N.H. — Senior Adam Fishman scored four times, but a strong No. 14 Princeton Tigers squad registered 11 second-half goals to defeat the Dartmouth men's lacrosse team, 16-5, on Saturday in Ivy League play at Scully-Fahey Field.

Dartmouth (3-6, 1-3 Ivy) junior goalkeeper Blair Friedensohn and his counterpart Tyler Blaisdell each made eight saves.

But the story of the contest was turnovers as Princeton's defense forced the home team into committing 21, while they themselves committed 14.

Mike MacDonald led the Tigers with six points on five goals and an assist. Nine other Princeton (7-4, 3-1 Ivy) players recorded at least a point in the game with Kip Orban as the other offensive threat, notching four tallies. Sean Connors and Gavin McBride also recoding a pair of goals.

Dartmouth took a 1-0 lead early in the opening quarter on Fishman's first of the day from freshman Jack Korzelius at 13:28. Princeton scored the next three tallies in an eight-minute span before the teams exchanged the next two goals.

Each team scored just once in the second, as Fishman completed his hat trick midway through the frame. Dartmouth was holding its own through 30 minutes, as the Tigers possessed the ball for a large portion of the half. Princeton held a 19-12 advantage in shots, but it was the Big Green's defense stepping up and moving the ball out of their end as the squad went 8-of-11 in clears.

In the third quarter, it was all Princeton, as the Tigers netted seven goals in 15 minutes. Dartmouth's only tally of the quarter came in a man-up situation as Cam Lee scored unassisted to make it an 8-4 contest. Princeton would score four more times before the horn sounded.

Trailing, 12-4, Fishman received a pass from senior Adam Hull for his second helper of the game a minute and 40 seconds into the final quarter. The Tigers would score four more goals before the game ended, including two in the last two minutes.

The Big Green will have a short turnaround as they head to Newark, New Jersey for a meeting with the New Jersey Institute of Technology on Tuesday evening.
