Princeton scored three more times in the second to extend the lead to 7-1 at the half on goals from Saranna Soroka, Julie Phillips and Laura Martinez.
After a Sonoma State goal in the first minute of the second half, Rigler scored three-straight goals to give Princeton a 10-2 lead and Bowles then netted all three Princeton goals in the final stanza.
Zwirner added two assists along with her goal, as did Sarah Hutchison and Zak. Goalie Kristen Ward also set up two counter goals in the first half. She played three quarters in goal and made 10 saves. Grace du Pont made two saves in the final quarter. Princeton scored on three of eight man-up chances, while holding the Seawolves scoreless in five chances.
