NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's soccer team dropped an Ivy League contest to No. 6 Princeton, 4-0, on Saturday evening at Reese Stadium.

"It certainly wasn't our night tonight, but I have to give a lot of credit to Princeton as the first half was the best 45-minute performance I have seen from an Ivy League team in my 10 years here," said Kylie Stannard, the 5K Corral Head Coach of the Bulldogs. "We struggled to execute the way we prepared but a lot of it is how well Princeton played and it's a huge lesson for our young group. Importantly, our guys didn't quit and showed good character in the second half."
