PRINCETON, NJ - Freshman forward Trevor Mingoia scored his
first collegiate goal, and junior forward Jeremy Welsh and
sophomore forward Kevin Sullivan each had a goal and an assist as
No. 9 Union men’s ice hockey (7-3-5, 3-2-2 ECAC Hockey)
skated to a 3-3 tie at Princeton (4-7-2, 3-5-1 ECAC Hockey) in
front of 1,896 fans at Hobey Baker Rink.
Princeton’s Jack Berger scored twice in the third period to
help the Tigers rally from a three-goal deficit in the third
period.
Princeton’s Andrew Ammon started the rally by jamming in a
rebound at 2:21 to cut Union’s lead to 3-1. The Tigers would
pull to within a goal on Berger’s goal from the high slot at
9:54 of the third period.
Berger scored at 18:46 on a wrist shot over Stevens’ glove to
cap the rally. Each team had two shots in overtime.
Princeton outshot Union 14-2 in the third period and held a 31-17
shot advantage for the game.
The Dutchmen scored two first period goals, continuing a trend of
strong opening periods. Freshman forward Trevor Mingoia recorded
his first collegiate goal set up by his linemates Jeremy Welsh and
Kevin Sullivan.
Welsh kept a fluttering puck in at the blue line and fed to
Sullivan, who found Mingoia alone in the slot. Mingoia finished
over the shoulder of Bonar to give the Dutchmen a 1-0 lead at 10:37
of the first period.
Just over two minutes later, Yanovitch struck for the second time
in as many nights. Yanovitch took a pass from freshman forward Mark
Bennett and skated down the middle into open ice in the Princeton
zone. Yanovitch cut to his backhand and beat Bonar between the pads
at 13:00 to put Union up 2-0.
Welsh gave Union a 3-0 lead with his team leading 11th goal of the
season at 10:07 of the second period. Sullivan skated into the
Union zone and found Welsh all alone near the circle after a
Princeton defenseman fell down. Welsh fired into the top corner
over the glove of Bonar to move into 10th on the school’s
all-time scoring list with 37 career goals.
Union finished the game 0-for-2 with the man advantage while
holding Princeton scoreless on five power play chances.
The Dutchmen will take on RPI next Saturday at 4:00 p.m. at in the
Festivus Faceoff at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, NY.
