Though things had seemed bleak in recent weeks for the men’s
hockey team, there is some hope following its recent 3-2 win over
No. 14 UMass Lowell.
Princeton (5-9-1) stepped up after also losing to the River Hawks
the day before, with senior goaltender Zane Kalemba posting a
career-high 45 saves and earning him ECAC Goaltender of the Week
honors. For his part, freshman forward Eric Meland, who scored the
first two goals of his college career for the Orange and Black, was
rewarded with ECAC Rookie of the Week honors.
“[The team’s] got a lot of objectives — certain
things that we want to do when we play, things like backchecking,
getting the puck in, getting the puck out — and I think that
we did that much better on Saturday night than Friday night,”
senior defenseman and tri-captain Jody Pederson said.
