PRINCETON - The Princeton men's hockey team continues its race to the postseason by opening a four-game stretch away from Baker Rink this weekend in New York's North Country against Clarkson and St. Lawrence.

Princeton saw its season-long three-game win streak snapped last Friday night by Colgate, but rebounded a day later by defeating fifth-ranked Cornell 5-3 for the team's fourth win in five games since returning from the exam break in late December. Princeton is also 7-3-1 in its last 11 games dating back to a mid-December win at UMass Lowell.

On Friday, Colgate took advantage of its chances, scoring two goals 71 seconds apart eight minutes into the second period to snap a scoreless tie and put the Raiders ahead for good. Mike Kramer would cut the lead in half for the Tigers late in the second period, but Colgate stymied any attempts at a Princeton rally in the third period as the Raiders skated to a 3-1 win.
