Box Score

PRINCETON, N.J. - Princeton captain Lizzie Keady found the back of the net with 2:13 remaining in overtime to lift the Tigers to a 4-3 win over Rensselaer, Friday night at Baker Rink. The win improves Princeton to 10-8-4, 8-6-1 in the ECAC, while Rensselaer falls to 11-11-4, 4-8-3.

The two points seemed assured when Princeton scored twice in the third period to build a 3-1 lead. Junior Christine Foster knocked in her own saved shot for a 2-1 lead 9:27 into the third period, and Keady took a pass from Marykate Oakley behind the goal and fired in her seventh goal of the season. 

Rensselaer pulled its goal following a timeout with less than two minutes remaining. A shot from the point was deflected in by Melanie Guillemette (North Bay, ON/Stoney Bay Jr Sabres) at 18:41, cutting the deficit in half. Seventeen seconds later, Nicole McDonald (Ottawa, ON/Ottawa Raiders) rebounded a shot from Jamie-Lynn Stewart (Cambridge, ON/Cambridge Jr Fury) to even the score at three. The score would remain even through the final 62 seconds of regulation.

The Engineers managed one shot on goal in the overtime period, which Tigers netminder Kristen Young turned away with a shoulder save. Keady then scored the game winner through traffic with a wrister from the left circle.

Princeton held a 1-0 lead after one period, thanks to a power-play goal by Annie Greenwood 13:12 into the period. Rensselaer scored one in the second period, as Kendra Dunlop (Granum, AB/Warner Hockey School) evened the score with her eighth goal of the season.

Princeton outshot Rensselaer 24-22 and converted on one of its two power plays. The Engineers, who held a 38-27 faceoff edge, went 0-for-3 on the power play.
