Trigg-Smith's Tigers dropped by UCLA

Romy Trigg-Smith with the Princeton Tigers and Jordan Inouye with the Seattle U. Redhawks played in NCAA soccer tournament semifinal-round soccer matches yesterday.

Trigg-Smith and the Tigers were eliminated by UCLA 2-0 in the Division I women's tournament at Cary, N.C., before 8,326 fans at the SAS Soccer Park

Inouye will play in the Division II men's tournament championship match tomorrow against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville at Wichita Falls, Texas.

The Redhawks (21-0-1), the only undefeated men's team in any NCAA Division, edged the Dowling (N.Y.) Golden Lions 2-1 in overtime. Inouye started and saw significant playing time but was not involved in the scoring.

Princeton set a team and Ivy League record for victories (19) in a season.

"We definitely were nervous for the first 20 minutes. With the position we were in, being the first Ivy League team to reach the final four, it was an environment we had never been in before," said Trigg-Smith, a junior from Punahou.

"There was a lot of pressure and we admitted to ourselves that it was only natural to be nervous. We hoped we would get into out game earlier but I don't think we did until the second half."
