ITHACA, N.Y. -- (All-Tournament Team) No. 6-ranked Princeton claimed the Ivy League Women's Lacrosse Tournament crown with a 12-9 victory over No. 11-ranked Cornell at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, N.Y., Sunday. 

Tiger senior goaltender Ellie DeGarmo was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Tournament after making 15 saves in the tournament final, a single-game record in the Ivy tournament. She had a tournament record of 27, surpassing her own record of 20 set in 2015. Senior Olivia Hompe had her fifth nine-point game of the season, scoring seven times and adding two assists. She became the Princeton all-time leading scorer as she has 278 points and became the all-time goal scorer with 193 career tallies. Hompe's 18-point weekend set tournament records in points, goals and assists and she also had single-season game records in all three categories.

Hompe had a hand in each of Princeton's first six goals as the Tigers took a 7-1 lead. She assisted on the first two goals and surpassed Crista Samara's points record of 270 on the second assist of the day. She scored the next four Princeton goals, including three-straight in a span of five minutes. Freshman Tess D'Orsi netted her 36th goal of the season to give the Tigers the 7-1 lead at 4:03.

Catherine Ellis potted the final goal of the first half, as the Big Red had its largest halftime deficit of the season, 7-2.

Taylor Reed tallied the first goal of the second half for Cornell, but the Tigers responded, scoring three in 3:28. Hompe scored twice and Anna Doherty added her second of the game as Princeton took a 10-3 lead at 24:11.

The Big Red weren't going away easily as they went on a four-goal run over the next 10 minutes to make it a three-goal game with 13:12 to play. Hompe added her 70th goal of the season as she converted her 12th free-position goal of the season.

Tomasina Leska scored two in 16 seconds for Cornell, as it climbed within two, 11-9, with 9:59 to play.

Elizabeth George scored her sixth goal of the weekend to give the Tigers a cushion at 6:47.

With two minutes to play, DeGarmo made a big save on Kristy Gilbert who was held scoreless, and she took a yellow card, giving Princeton a player advantage.

After a good clear—Princeton was a perfect 21 for 21 on clears this tournament—a turnover gave the Big Red the ball. DeGarmo again came up big, this time with a save on Amie Dickson, who was also held scoreless, with 34 seconds left.

Cornell (12-5) out shot Princeton 34-24 and had three more draws 13-10, while each team had 16 ground balls each.

After earning the League's automatic berth, Princeton will await its NCAA fate, which it will find out tonight when the selection show airs at 9 p.m. on NCAA.com.
