The women’s hockey team will look to improve on its 3-5-0 (1-3-0 ECAC) record as two premier teams visit Hobey Baker Rink this weekend. No. 3 St. Lawrence (7-1-2, 4-0-0) and No. 6 Clarkson (4-5-3, 2-1-1) should pose challenges for a No. 11 Princeton team that will be looking to pick up lost ground in the ECAC standings.

The Tigers managed a split last weekend. After dropping their Friday night contest against No. 7 Boston University 2-0, Princeton rebounded for a 3-1 victory over Vermont. The Tigers recovered from an early deficit against Vermont, scoring three times in the second period. Freshman forward Danielle DiCesare led the way with a goal and assist, raising her season goal total to four. Two of DiCesare’s freshmen classmates, in forward Paula Romanchuk and forward Charissa Stadynk, also notched goals during the game.

Sophomore defenseman Sasha Sherry remains the team’s offensive leader. The sophomore has nine points to her name, with three goals and six assists. Romanchuk and DiCesare follow closely behind Sherry, ranking second and third on the team in points. The two rookies have combined to score 12 of Princeton’s 20 goals this season.
