TROY, N.Y. -- The 10th-ranked Princeton women's
hockey team used to third period goals to pull ahead and knock off
Rensselaer 3-1 on Friday evening at the Houston Field House. The
win was Princeton's third straight over a team ahead of it in the
ECAC standings.
Tied at one in the third period, junior Maddie
Endicott gave Princeton a 2-1 lead when she scored with a shot over
the shoulder of Rensselaer goaltender Sonja van der Bliek. The goal
came off a cross-ice feed from freshman Heather
Landry and freshman Julie
Johnson also assisted on Endicott's second goal of the season.
The Tigers added an insurance tally at 12:37 as junior Stephanie
Denino scored with a backhander from the far circle through a
screen. Freshman Danielle
DiCesare and junior Melanie
Wallace were credited with the assists. With her two assists,
Wallace assumed the team lead in points with 17, equaling her
career high set as a freshman.
The Tigers struck first in the opening period on freshman Paula
Romanchuk's team-leading eighth goal of the season off a scrum in
front of the net. Wallace picked up an assist in front of the net
and Denino sent the initial shot into the crease from the point.
Rensselaer tied things up in the second frame when junior winger
Whitney
Naslund
Princeton senior goaltender Kristen
Young finished with 24 saves to improve to 10-8-1 overall while her
counterpart, van der Bliek made 19 stops in the loss and is now
10-6-2.
Princeton moved to 10-8-1 overall and 7-5 in the ECAC. The Tigers
won their third-straight game over a team ahead of them in the ECAC
standings and also won their third straight on the road over a team
that had beaten them at home earlier this season. The Tigers jumped
to third in the ECAC with the win.
Princeton completes the weekend tomorrow afternoon at Union.
