HAMDEN, Conn. -- The Princeton women's hockey
team shook off the rust from a 17-day layoff with a 2-1 win at
Quinnipiac on Tuesday night. Senior Christine
Foster and freshman Charissa
Stadnyk scored in the win as the Tigers moved into a third-place
tie in the ECAC standings with eight league games remaining.
Following a scoreless opening period in which the Tigers ousthot
their travel partner 13-7, the Tigers jumped ahead with a pair of
second period goals. Foster opened the scoring with an unassisted
tally at 6:19 of the period to give Princeton a lead it would not
relinquish. The goal was her fourth of the season.
The Tigers added what turned out to be the game-winning goal three
minutes later when Stadnyk added her fifth goal of the season and
her second goal in as many games. The goal was assisted by freshmen
Heather
Landry and Julie
Johnson. All three skaters recorded their 10th points of the season
on the goal, becoming the seventh, eighth and ninth players on the
team to reach double digits this season.
Quinnipiac cut the lead to one goal when Elyse Cole scored on the
power play with four minutes left, but the Bobcats could get no
closer.
Princeton outshot Quinnipiac 35-21 in the game. Senior goaltender
Kristen
Young made 21 saves for the win, while Tia Wishart stopped 33 in
the loss.
The win was Princeton's fifth in a row and moved the Tigers to
12-8-2 overall and 9-5 in the ECAC. Princeton moved into a
third-place tie in the standings with Colgate and Harvard as the
trio battles for home ice in the ECAC playoffs with eight games now
remaining in the league season.
Princeton hosts Yale on Friday night at 7 p.m.
