Following a tough pair of losses last weekend against ECAC Hockey foes St. Lawrence and Clarkson, the women’s hockey team will be looking to get back on track tonight at Baker Rink. The Tigers will take on No. 3 Cornell tonight at 7 p.m., followed by Colgate on Saturday.
Going into last weekend’s road trip, the Tigers (4-3-1 overall, 3-2-1 ECAC Hockey) had not lost in their first four conference-play games. However, a St. Lawrence goal just three minutes into the first period gave the Tigers a swift wake-up call. Freshman forward Brianna Leahy tied up the game 1-1 with her second goal of the season seven minutes later, but her unassisted breakaway was the only time the Tigers would find the back of the net. The three-goal split in the 4-1 loss was the largest of any Princeton loss thus far this season.
While the defense was able to rebound and limit Clarkson to one goal, the Tigers' offense couldn’t produce any as the team fell 1-0 to the Golden Knights.
