The women’s ice hockey team has done a good job snapping its losing streaks: The Tigers haven’t dropped more than two consecutive games since November 2007. Unfortunately for Princeton, it also hasn’t put together a winning streak of more than two games this season, and that does not sit well with the squad.

Following their first tie of the season, the Tigers (4-6-1 overall, 2-4-0 ECAC Hockey) have a chance to start a new trend when they host conference rival Quinnipiac (2-15-1, 1-4-1) tonight. With three home games in the next five days, Princeton is well positioned to craft its longest winning streak of the season.

In the first matchup of its homestand, Princeton takes aim at the Bobcats, who have not defeated the Tigers in recent memory. In fact, the current crop of seniors has a 6-0 record against Quinnipiac going into tonight’s contest.
