When coach Guy Gadowsky took over at Princeton in 2004, he inherited a team that struggled to score goals. The Tigers had 50 goals in ECAC Hockey play during the 2003-04 season, second only to Union's league-worst 46.

Slowly, but surely, Gadowsky changed the culture of Princeton hockey. Now, thanks to an up-tempo offense, the 15th-ranked Tigers are on the verge of doing something they haven't done in 10 years - winning an ECACH tournament title.

The second-seeded Tigers (19-13) face eighth-seeded Colgate (18-16-6) in Friday's first semifinal at 4 p.m. at the Times Union Center. The winner plays for the champ­ionship Saturday at 7 p.m. against either No. 3 Harvard or No. 5 Cornell, who meet in the second semifinal Friday at 7 p.m.
