January saw a turnaround for the women’s ice hockey team, which posted 1-0 and 4-3 wins as well as a 3-3 tie this month after a lackluster, winless December. Now, the Tigers face their longest break from competition of the season and will come back from Intersession to a home stretch of eight straight league games.

Princeton (9-9-3 overall, 7-4-3 ECAC Hockey) is currently tied with Quinnipiac for second in the conference, though anything can happen in the ECAC with half a season left to play. At the end of the month, the Tigers will travel to battle Union (4-17-1, 0-9-1) and Rensselaer (7-9-5, 4-3-3). It is the second meeting of the season against both teams.

Though Princeton will take a 20-day break from competition, Union and Rensselaer will compete every weekend this month, which means the Tigers have to stay sharp. Head coach Jeff Kampersal ’92 said he is optimistic that the team can maintain its competitiveness.
