PRINCETON - The Princeton women's hockey returns to Baker Rink this weekend to open a regular-season ending four-game homestand this weekend against two teams ahead in the standings, first-place Clarkson and fourth-place St. Lawrence.

Princeton entered last weekend tied for third in the ECAC standings but losses at Colgate and Cornell dropped the Tigers to sixth in the league standings with four league games left before the postseason begins.

The Tigers opened last weekend by dropping a one-goal decision at Colgate. The Raiders never trailed in the game and built their lead to as many as two goals twice before Princeton closed the gap late. Danielle DiCesare sparked the Tiger offense in the game with a hand in all three goals, scoring one and assisting on the others. Melanie Wallace and Stephanie Denino provided the other goals and Wallace joined DiCesare with multiple points, also adding an assist on the final goal. A day later, the Tigers fell behind Cornell midway through the first and the Big Red widened the gap in each following period on its way to a 6-0 triumph.
