Tigers Roll at Showcase
PROVIDENCE -- Junior Mark Magnowski had two goals and an assist
to lead the 10th-ranked Princeton men's hockey team to a 4-1 win at
Brown in its season opener on Friday night at Meehan
Auditorium.
Princeton went ahead at 11:36 of the first period when Brett Wilson
scored a power-play goal that was assisted by junior Brad Schroeder
and sophomore Matt Godlewski. The lead however, did not last long,
as Brown's Ryan Garbutt countered 1:10 later when he scored on the
power-play immediately off a Devin Timberlake face-off win.
Princeton put the game away midway through the second period with
two goals in a 1:50 span. Magnowski tallied the game winner at 8:03
on the power play with assists from sophomore Cam Ritchie and
Godlewski. The two assists credited to Godlewski marked the first
multiple-point game of his collegiate career.
Reigning ECAC and Ivy League Player of the Year Lee Jubinville put
Princeton ahead 3-1 at 10:53 of the period with assists from
Magnowski and sophomore Mike Kramer. Magnowski closed out the
scoring with his second of the night 5:35 into the third period to
seal the win for Princeton. Sophomore Sam Sabky and freshman Brodie
Zuk had the helpers on the goal, the first collegiate points for
both players coming in their first collegiate game. Magnowski's
three points matches a career high. He had three points in a win at
Nebraska-Omaha last season.
Princeton opened the season with a win for the second season in a
row and is 3-0-1 in its last four season-opening games. The Tigers
also claimed their fifth straight win over Brown.
Princeton outshot Brown 38-13 and was 2 for 8 on the power play,
while Brown was 1 for 2. Junior goaltender Zane Kalemba stopped 12
of the 13 shots he faced for the win, while Dan Rosen stopped 34
shots in a losing effort.
Princeton is now 1-0-0 overall this season. The win does not count
towards the ECAC Hockey standings. Princeton will complete its
weekend at the Showdown at Meehan tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 p.m.
with an exhibition contest against the Ontario Institute of
Technology.
