The Princeton women’s hockey team returns to action
following a three-week layoff for the holidays. Princeton jumps
right into ECAC Hockey action, playing games this weekend at
Harvard and Dartmouth.
Princeton enters the New Year with a 7-8-1 overall and a 4-5-0
ECAC Hockey record. The Tigers are currently tied for sixth in the
ECAC standings with Cornell and enter the second part of the season
looking to climb in the standings as the Tigers sit just four
points out of the final home ice playoff spot and five points out
of first place in the standings. With 13 league games remaining,
the Tigers sit five points behind a first-place tie between
Dartmouth, Rensselaer and St. Lawrence, but only two spots ahead of
eight-place Yale and Colgate, which represents the final playoff
slot for the post season.
The Tigers will look to build off a good weekend the last time
they played when they split a series at defending National Champion
Minnesota-Duluth. Princeton took the opener of the series 4-3
before being shut out 3-0 in the second game. In the win, Princeton
used goals from sophomore Sasha Sherry and freshman Julie Johnson
to snap a 2-2 tie and pull ahead 4-2. UMD added a late goal but the
Tigers held off the Bulldogs and got the win. Senior goaltender
Kristen Young made 82 saves on the weekend in defending the
Princeton goal.
