Coming off a tough loss to Brown on Saturday, the women’s
hockey team looks to bounce back this weekend at home against
conference foes Colgate and Cornell. Last weekend, the Tigers
outshot Brown 43-12, but they could only connect on one of those
shots, and they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 loss. But Princeton
(13-9-1 overall, 10-6-0 ECAC Hockey) cannot dwell on its
shortcomings, as the team is in the middle of a tight playoff
race.

would like to secure home-ice advantage in the quarterfinals by
finishing the season in the top four. The Tigers currently sit in
fifth place, one point behind Colgate. Two wins this weekend would
catapult the team into fourth place.
“[Colgate and Cornell] are both very explosive teams,”
head coach Jeff Kampersal ’92 said. “We have no choice
but to fight for our lives.”
