PRINCETON - The Princeton women's hockey team closes out the regular season this weekend with its sights still set on home ice for the ECAC playoffs. Princeton sits two points out of a home ice playoff spot with two games left to play.

Princeton did not allow a goal last weekend in sweeping Clarkson and St. Lawrence at home and keeping itself in the race for a top-four finish and home ice in the opening round of the playoffs. Princeton currently sits in sixth place and trails a third-place tie between Harvard and Rensselaer by two points. Fifth-place Quinnipiac sits between the Tigers and the third-place tie.

Should any ties exist following the weekend, Princeton owns the head-to-head tiebreakers against Harvard and Quinnipiac. Princeton and RPI skated to a pair of ties. The next tiebreaker is total wins, followed by record against the top-four finishers.
