Kat Sharkey scored four goals Sunday afternoon to lead the Princeton field hockey team to the NCAA Division I Final Four with a 7-3 victory over Syracuse.

Syracuse led, 3-2, before Sharkey tied the game 4:36 into the second half. It was the first of three straight goals, in a span of less than 10 minutes, for the sophomore from Moosic and Wyoming Seminary.

Princeton joins North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland for the Final Four, which begins Friday, in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Sharkey, the 10th-leading scorer in the nation going into the weekend, was a unanimous first-team all-Ivy League pick for the second straight year.
