One year after a sub-.500 season, the Princeton University men's ice hockey team took a big leap forward by winning the ECAC Hockey Championship and advancing to just their second NCAA Tournament in program history this season while setting a program record for wins in a season.

The excitement over those accomplishments was tempered when their NCAA trip lasted just one game, a misleading 5-1 loss to top-seeded North Dakota on Saturday in the Madison, Wis. regional. The Fighting Sioux reached the Frozen Four with an overtime win over Wisconsin on Sunday.

"It still sort of feels bad because of the loss," said Princeton head coach Guy Gadowsky after finishing the season 21-14. "We felt we deserved to be there. It still feels bad. I'm sure that in a week or so, we'll look back and feel proud of everything. Right now, we lost a game everybody feels could have turned out differently. It doesn't feel good right now."
