PRINCETON, N.J. – Villanova began its weekend at the Princeton Invitational with a 14-10 win over Bucknell. The Wildcats improve to 12-2 ahead of tomorrow's ranked matchup against Harvard.

Ella Mattocks shined with five goals to lead the 'Cats. Emily McKenzie recorded a hat trick with Anna Painter and Amelia Baca adding a pair of goals. Four Wildcats chipped in multiple assists. A complete team effort as it has been all season long.

Abigail Shelby picked up the win in goal recording six saves. Stella Byles went 2-2 on sprints and has not lost a sprint in 10 consecutive games.
