PRINCETON - The Princeton women's hockey team hits the road for Northern New York this weekend for its final league weekend of the 2009 calendar year. The Tigers visit St. Lawrence and fourth-ranked Clarkson for games on Friday and Saturday afternoons.

The Tigers have split each of their last two weekends and a single goal, or two with an empty netter, has decided each of their last five games. The stretch began with a 2-1 overtime win at Harvard three weeks ago and continued over the last four home games with 3-2 and 3-1 wins over Colgate and Boston University, and losses of 1-0 and 3-2 to Cornell and Boston University.

Last weekend the Tigers split with BU, winning on Friday and falling on Saturday. In the win, the Tigers pulled ahead with two power-play goals in the first period to build an insurmountable lead that was sealed with an empty-net goal. A day later, it was BU that struck first, taking leads of 1-0 and 2-1, but the Tigers came back to tie the score at 1-1 and 2-2, but could not overcome the third Terrier goal.
