After a rough opening stretch to its season, the women’s hockey team (3-4 overall, 3-2 ECAC Hockey) returned from its weekend on the road with two wins. Without much time to prepare, the Tigers jumped right into game play three weeks ago. In its opening exhibition game versus McGill, Princeton had a slow start that caused it to fall behind early and never score for the equalizer, ending the game with a 4-3 loss. The next day, Princeton hosted Yale and Brown for an Ivy League preseason round robin in which the Tigers beat the Bulldogs 4-2 but fell to the Bears 3-0.
The team began its first weekend of the official season on the road, traveling to compete against Northeastern and Providence. The Tigers dropped both games to open their season with two losses, something that has not happened since 1992.
This year’s team hopes to perform with more consistency and success than last year’s team did. The Tigers finished the 2009-2010 season with an overall record of 13-14-4, ending a nine-year streak of finishing with a record above .500. The team was ranked fifth in the final ECAC Hockey standings, with a conference record of 11-7-4.
