Peteraf Goal-Scoring Run Moves Her To Elite Company

Sarah Peteraf scored two more goals Wednesday night in a 3-0 win over Bucknell. The senior now has 11 for the season, a remarkable total considering she had four goals for her career prior to this year and didn't score at all a year ago.

Peteraf, who was also named to the District II CoSIDA Academic All-America second team, has moved into the upper echelon of Princeton women's soccer history. She is now one of just six players in program history to have reached 11 goals in a season (three have done it twice), and she is one of only three players (along with Esmeralda Negron ’05 and Emily Behncke ’06) to reach the 11-goal mark in the last 25 years.

Peteraf has scored seven game-winning goals (two in overtime), and she also has scored 11 of the team's 20 goals (55%). No player to play for Julie Shackford at Princeton has scored at least 50% of the team's goals in a season.

I don't think she's premed. At least she's never told me she was. When I asked her about it this morning, she said she didn't realize it either, would have taken different courses if she'd known.

Correction made. Peteraf is in fact a politics major.
