MADISON, Wis. -- The final score sheet said that North Dakota defeated the Princeton men's hockey team 5-1 in the first round of the NCAA Regional, but Princeton doubled the Fighting Sioux in shots and carried the play against the region's top seed for most of the afternoon. Sophomore Cam MacIntyre scored Princeton's lone goal in the game.

The two teams took a few minutes to feel things out before the game opened up midway through the period. North Dakota got its first good chances on the power play and was able to convert when Andrew Kozek scored on a wrist shot from the left circle. Jack Marto and Chary Genoway assisted on the goal.

Princeton killed off another penalty right after the goal and was then able to generate some pressure in the closing minute of the period as junior Lee Jubinville had two good chances. Princeton outshot UND 10-7 in the period, but Sioux netminder Jean-Philippe Lamoureux stopped all 10 shots and his team led 1-0 after a period.

Princeton again outshot North Dakota in second period, putting 15 shots on Lamoureux to North Dakota's five. UND scored the period's lone goal of the period at 16:18 when Ryan Duncan scored his first of three goals just three second after a power play had expired. Princeton sophomore Mark Magnowski had three great chances on the penalty kill, but UND countered to have a 2-0 lead after two.

The Sioux made it 3-0 with a second power-play tally in the third period when Duncan scored on the power play at 14:48. Duncan and Genoway then added empty net goals as Princeton pulled Kalemba looking to close in late. MacIntyre closed the scoring late in the game when he netted his 13th goal of the season with 33 seconds left to play. Junior Lee Jubinville assisted on the goal.

Lamoureux finished the night with 38 saves on 39 shots, while Kalemba stopped 13 shots. Princeton outshot North Dakota 39-18.

The loss dropped the Tigers to 22-14 overall this season. Princeton was the Ivy League and ECAC Hockey Tournament Champion and set a new school-record for wins in a season with 21.
