Princeton earned an ECAC
split this past weekend at home.
The Tigers suffered their worst loss of the season on Friday
night, a 5-1 defeat to No. 14 St. Lawrence
at Hobey Baker Rink. Brian Ward had a goal and an assist for the visiting Saints,
while Mike Marnell and Ben Masella had two assists apiece and Kyle Hayton made
41 saves. The Tigers fell behind, 3-0, by the middle of the second period
before sophomore forward Max Becker got the home side on the board with his
first career collegiate goal. Colton Phinney stopped 29 shots before giving way
in the third period to Ben Halford, who made five saves on six shots.
The next night, Princeton
recorded its first victory since Halloween with a 3-0 blanking of No. 20
Clarkson. Phinney made 31 stops as Eric Robinson, Kyle Rankin and Max Veronneau
(PPG) scored for Princeton. Steve Perry had 21
stops for the visiting Golden Knights.
The Tigers (2-6-0 overall, 1-5-0 ECAC) head north for two
non-conference contests this weekend at Maine
(2-8-3 overall), whom Princeton defeated by a 3-1 count on Oct. 31 in Trenton. The Black Bears
earned their first wins of the 2015-16 campaign on Friday and Saturday with a
two-step sweep of visiting Hockey East opponent Vermont (3-2, 4-1).
