PRINCETON, New Jersey - The Marist men's lacrosse team fell to Ivy League opponent Princeton, 10-6, in a midweek tilt Feb. 21. The Tigers remained unbeaten at 2-0 and the Red Foxes went to 2-1.

The game's five goals in the opening quarter were the most in any four periods of the contest. Redshirt junior Nick Nye's goal with 4:58 left in the first quarter put Marist in front 3-1, but the Princeton defense held Marist off the scoreboard from that point until the third quarter.

Marist won all four faceoffs in the third period to stay in the contest. Freshman Michael Smith broke the scoring drought with his third goal of the year, with classmate Joe Tierney picking up an assist for the third straight game. Michael Smith's score cut the Marist deficit to 7-4 with 6:52 to play, but the Tigers would extend their lead to five before the final quarter.
