HANOVER, N.H. (1/30/10) - The Princeton men's hockey team completed its first ECAC weekend sweep of the season with a 5-3 win on Saturday afternoon at Dartmouth. Kevin Lohry had two goals in the win, including the game winner.
Princeton never trailed in the game and stayed a step ahead of Dartmouth for most of the night. Dan Bartlett gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead at 7:19 of the first period when he picked off a Dartmouth clearing attempt and scored on a slapshot that Dartmouth netminder Jody O'Neill got a piece of, but not all of, for his team-leading 14th goal of the season.
Dartmouth drew even at 17:49 when Doug Jones scored on the power play late in the period. All three Dartmouth goals in the game came on special teams as the Big Green had two power-play goals and a shorthanded tally.
Princeton took control of the game early in the second period with two goals in the first four minutes. First Matt Arhontas connected on the power play when he tipped a Taylor Fedun shot by O'Neill and Lohry made it 3-1 just over a minute later when he capitalized on an odd-man rush, Princeton's third in a 40-second span.
Joe Gaudet trimmed the lead to a goal with a power-play goal midway through the stanza, but Lohry gave Princeton a two-goal lead again at 16:27 when his seeing-eye wrist shot from the point found the back of the net and sent O'Neill to the Dartmouth bench.
Dartmouth would again trim the lead to a goal when Scott Fleming scored shorthanded with six minutes left in regulation but Mike Kramer's empty netter sealed the win for Princeton late.
Princeton outshot Dartmouth 35-30 in the win. Zane Kalemba made 27 saves for the win while O'Neill and James Mello combined to make 30 saves in the loss.
Princeton improved to 9-10-2 overall and 5-8-1 in the ECAC with the win. The Tigers moved with two points of idle Harvard for eighth place in the league standings. Princeton is back in action next Friday at home against Colgate.
Notes: Princeton has won three straight games for the first time this season ... The Tigers swept the season series from Dartmouth and the teams have alternated season sweeps in the past four seasons ... Kevin Lohry became the first Tiger to collect a second game-winning goal this season.
