The Princeton women’s hockey team hits the road this weekend and visits Northern New York to take on Clarkson and St. Lawrence. Princeton currently sits tied for fourth in the ECAC standings and must finish in the top four to clinch a home ice playoff spot in the ECAC quarterfinals.

Princeton earned three of a four possible points last weekend with a win over Colgate and a tie with Cornell. The Tigers have earned 15 of their last 18 possible points since the calendar turned to 2009 and in turn have climbed into contention for a home-ice playoff series.

Princeton opened the weekend with a 3-1 win over Colgate last Friday, avenging a loss to Colgate earlier in the season. Princeton used two goals in the game’s first 10 minutes to build a lead that Colgate could not overcome. Freshman Paula Romanchuk started the scoring with her team-leading ninth goal of the season and senior Christine Foster netted the eventual game winner midway through the period. Colgate moved within a goal late in the first, but could get no closer as freshman Heather Landry capped the scoring in the third. Landry had a goal and as assist in the game and sophomore Sasha Sherry had two assists.
