Box Score

PRINCETON, NJ -- A pair of third-period goals by sophomore forward Caroline Murphy, including a short-hander and an empty-netter, lifted Yale (6-6-4, 4-5-2 ECAC Hockey) to a 5-3 win at Princeton (7-8-4, 5-6-1 ECAC Hockey) Friday night. Junior goaltender Shivon Zilis made 40 saves
for the victory.

The Bulldogs got goals from junior forwards Danielle Kozlowski and Sarah Tittman to take a 2-0 lead early in the second. Two minutes after Katherine Dineen cut the lead in half junior defenseman Helen Resor made it 3-1, but Dineen scored again at the end of the second and a minute into the third to tie things up.

That set up Murphy's heroics, as she fought off a Tiger defender in the Princeton zone on a Yale penalty kill and, while falling to the ice, pushed the loose puck past goalie Kristen Young (21 saves) at the 3:47 mark.

The Tigers then pulled Young with two minutes to play, and Murphy took advantage of a turnover in the neutral zone to deposit the puck in the empty net.

It was the first two goals of the season for Murphy, who had totaled one goal in her previous 39 career games.
