The women’s hockey team has just one more shot at making the playoffs.
The Bulldogs (8–16–3, 7–11–2 ECAC) are just two points out of the eighth and final playoff spot, and will face two top-five ECAC hockey teams, Princeton (14–12–1, 11–8–1) and Quinnipiac (20–10–2, 12–8), in must win games tonight and Saturday at home.
St. Lawrence, RPI and Colgate are tied for the final two spots with 18 points, followed by Yale with 16. If the Bulldogs win both games this weekend, they will have 20 points in the ECAC standings, and will need some help for a berth in the conference tournament.
