Hempstead, NY - In the midst of the best start in program history, the Hofstra women's lacrosse team will head to nationally-ranked Princeton on Saturday.
The Tigers are ranked #13 in this week's IWLCA Division I Coaches Poll.
Opening draw control from Sherrerd Field at Class of 1952 Stadium is scheduled for 12 p.m.
The broadcast will be available on ESPN+. Links to the broadcast and the live statistics are available on this page and on the women's lacrosse page on GoHofstra.com.
Hofstra moved to 4-0 with the 17-11 win over Fairfield on Saturday.
Nikki Mennella tallied eight points on five goals and three assists, while also adding 11 draw controls in the game.
Julia Harris was tremendous as well with six points on five goals and one assist.
The 4-0 start to the season matches the 2013, 2005, and 1985 teams as the only squads in program history to begin the season with four consecutive wins.
Princeton is 2-1 this season after a narrow 15-14 win over Delaware on Wednesday. McKenzie Blake had eight points on six goals and two assists for the Tigers, while Haven Dora added seven assists.
This will be the ninth all-time meeting between Hofstra and Princeton in women's lacrosse but the first since the 1990 season. The Tigers have won all eight previous meetings. The first-ever meeting occurred during the 1977 campaign.
