The win boosted Farmington (1-10) into Saturday's consolation game against Becker (3-8), a 53-48 winner over Buffalo in its consolation semifinal.
Princeton carried a big size advantage into the contest but the Tigers more than held their own and took a 32-23 advantage to the halftime break.
"The girls put together a complete game," Tiger coach Sondra Chadwick said. "We kept a much bigger team off the boards and we did a great job of taking care of the basketball."
The Tigers committed a season-low eight turnovers in the contest.
Sofia Chadwick scored 15 points in the opening half and finished with a game-high 22. The sophomore guard made it a double-double with a career-high 16 rebounds and also came up with a trio of steals.
Alicia Hett, Chadwick's sidekick in the back court, added six points and six rebounds and freshman Jordyn Homeier chipped in with six points. Sophomore Kaitlin Gorden had five points and a team-high eight assists.
"Hopefully this boost of confidence will carry over into our game
tomorrow against Becker," Chadwick said.
Tip-off is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. in Monticello.
