Princeton senior catcher and leadoff man Ace Christiansen had reached base 12 straight times heading into Monday’s game with nine hits and three walks. To no coincidence, all three games were Tiger wins.

Princeton's Avah Oertel blasted a solo shot to lead off the fourth inning and pitched seven shutout innings in relief to send the Tigresses to an 8-2 victory over Newman.
