By JIM NELSON Bluefield Daily Telegraph

CHARLESTON — Playing with surgical precision, Princeton put together a solid 32-minute effort. The result, an impressive 74-45 basketball victory at Capital.

With Aaron Ferguson and Ryan Meadows combining for 17 first quarter points the Tigers built a 19-12 lead after one period.

In the second quarter, Princeton played defense like five German shepherds in a used car lot.

The Tigers held the Cougars to three points in the period and Princeton took a 35-15 lead to the locker room at intermission.

In the second half Princeton’s lead would grow to 30 points and the Tigers comfortably packed away its 14th win in 18 starts.
