Team Notes: Princeton Visits Rensselaer and Union

The 10th-ranked Princeton women’s hockey team travels to the Capital District of New York this weekend looking to enter the exam break on a high note against Rensselaer and Union. Princeton broke into the Top 10 for the first time all year with last weekend’s sweep at Harvard and Dartmouth.

Princeton has come on over the last few months, going 7-3-1 in its last 11 games with three wins over ranked teams, downing St. Lawrence, Minnesota-Duluth and Dartmouth in the span. The Tigers moved a game over .500 on the season with the win Sunday at Dartmouth and are also one game over .500 in league play at 6-5-0.

Last weekend the Tigers picked up its first sweep of the Harvard/Dartmouth travel pair on the road, although the two have only been travel partners since the 2005-06 season. Princeton last beat both teams on the road in the 1993-94 campaign and last swept the pair overall at home late in the 2005-06 season.
