Columbia beats Princeton for Jon Poppe’s first Ivy League head-coaching victory
Columbia (2-1) won its Ivy League opener for the first time since 2017.
Columbia trailed 10-6 at halftime before scoring on back-to-back possessions in the third quarter to take the lead for good. Goodwin's rushing touchdown came on a fourth-and-5 play from the 14. He escaped an unmarked, blitzing defensive lineman and scrambled to the left side for his first career rushing score.
Malcolm Terry II and Cole Freeman also scored rushing touchdowns as Columbia piled up 269 yards on the ground. The Lions entered the game as the Ivy League's top rushing offense, averaging 185.5 yards per game.
Goodwin was 19 of 30 for 210 yards passing and carried five times for 21 yards for Columbia. Edan Stagg caught six passes for 99 yards.
Blaine Hipa was intercepted twice for Princeton (1-2) — both by Hayden McDonald. The first interception came with 4:57 left in the first quarter on a tipped pass near midfield. McDonald's second saved a potential touchdown early in the second quarter when he made a sliding catch at the 1-yard line.
Hipa also fumbled with 11:54 left in the third quarter and Charlie Newton recovered near midfield.
John Volker had a team-high 13 carries for 61 yards and a score for the Tigers. AJ Barber caught seven passes for 74 yards and a score.
