Tanner Sorensen’s first goal of the season stood up as the
game-winner as Michigan State earned a split at Princeton with a 4-2 win on
Saturday night at Hobey Baker Rink. MSU now leads the all-time series between the
two schools, 6-1, following a 3-1 defeat on Friday.
Michael Ferrantino
opened the scoring for the second straight night, putting the Spartans (5-8-0) up
by a 1-0 count five minutes into the contest. Matt DeBlouw made it 2-0 at 3:22
of the second stanza, followed 10 minutes later by Sorensen.
Princeton (2-7-1) got goals just over nine minutes apart in
the third period from Kyle Rankin and Ryan Siiro to pull the Tigers within a
goal, before Matt Berry sealed the win for the Spartans with an empty-net goal
with two seconds remaining in regulation. Berry, who also had an assist, now
leads MSU with 13 points, and is tied for the team’s goal-scoring lead with
Ferrantino with seven tallies.
Jake Hildebrand stopped 20 shots for the Spartans, while
Colton Phinney had 29 saves for the Tigers. Both teams went 0-for-4 on the power
play. MSU returns home next weekend to host Minnesota in Big Ten play, while Princeton
will entertain Harvard and Dartmouth in ECAC competition.
