The Princeton men’s hockey team is making its third
appearance in the NCAA Hockey Tournament and its second in a row
this weekend when it heads to the West Regional to take on
Minnesota-Duluth. Denver and Miami will meet in the other game at
the Regional, with the two winners playing for a Frozen Four berth
on Saturday night.
The Road to Minneapolis
Princeton received its first-ever at-large berth to the NCAA
tournament by finishing the season ranked 12th in the Pairwise
Rankings. The Tigers were one of 10 at-large teams selected to the
tournament field. Princeton sealed its fate with a 2-2 tie against
St. Lawrence in the ECAC consolation game on Saturday in
Albany.
Tough Weekend
Princeton played 155:54 of hockey last weekend in Albany and never
actually played when trailing. Princeton did not trail in the
semifinal against Cornell, but dropped the game in double overtime.
The following day Princeton had two one-goal leads but St. Lawrence
forged the tie.
