Despite balancing exams and hockey practice, with the final stretch of the season in sight, the women's hockey team is digging deep to find the will to win.

"This is the end of our season, and we need to finish strong," senior forward Brittany Salmon said. "It no longer matters what we have done up to this point, but what we make of these last nine games."

Princeton kicks off its break play against Quinnipiac on Tuesday, Jan. 29. The Bobcats (3-16-4, 0-10-3) have struggled lately, losing their last four games.
