The women’s hockey team is on a three-game win streak going into winter break. Before the start of reading period, the Tigers (6-10-1 overall, 4-6-1 ECAC Hockey) will face non-league opponent Boston College (11-2-4) — currently ranked No. 6 in the country — on Dec. 31 and Quinnipiac (13-6-1, 6-5) on Jan. 3. The Tigers’ slow start to the season has picked up considerably, with two wins over Syracuse on Friday and Saturday and a win over Brown on Dec. 4.
Boston College will be a formidable opponent for Princeton, as the Eagles have posted better results than the Tigers against mutual opponents so far this season. Boston College has wins over Dartmouth, to which Princeton lost, and Harvard, which Princeton tied.
Princeton’s season has been relatively streaky thus far, which makes it hard to assess where the Tigers stand. After breaking a six-game drought earlier in the year, the Tigers have won their last three games by a two-goal margin or better.
