The women’s hockey team will look to end its six-game skid this weekend when it takes on the Yale Bulldogs and the Brown Bears on the Tigers’ first Ivy road trip of the season. The Tigers (4-7-1 overall, 3-4-1 ECAC) began the season with a strong 4-1-1 record but have since lost six straight and fallen to a tie for sixth in the ECAC.

In their first meeting of the season at Baker Rink, the Tigers decisively defeated the Bulldogs (1-12, 1-5) by a score of 7-1. They also squeezed out a 1-0 win against Brown (3-3-5, 1-2-3), and the Tigers lead the all-time series with both programs.

“We have familiarity with Yale and Brown, but a lot has changed for all of us since we played last,” head coach Jeff Kampersal said. “It’s a big league weekend. We respect both programs, but we are focusing on the Tigers this week.”
