Liam Grande's second goal with 5:05 remaining in regulation stood up as the game-winner as the Princeton University Tigers overcame an early 2-1 deficit to best Western Ontario, 6-4, in an exhibition game at Hobey Baker Rink on Saturday evening.
Max Veronneau set up three Princeton goals and Eric Robinson
had two assists while Reid Yochim, Jackson Cressey, Josh Teves and Alex Riche
also scored for the Tigers, who finished 15-16-3 overall a year ago. Freshman
netminder Ryan Ferland stopped all four shots he faced in playing the final
eight minutes and 24 seconds of regulation for the Tigers, and also picked up
the victory (which will not count in NCAA totals, as an exhibition) as he was
in net for Grande's game-winner.
Princeton starting goaltender Austin Shaw stopped 19 of 22 shots over the first 40 minutes on Saturday, while Ben Halford saved two of three shots in just over 11 minutes of play. Princeton finished 3-for-7 on the power play, and stopped 4-of-5 man-advantage attempts by the Mustangs, who got two goals from Anthony Stefano.
Princeton will open its 2017-18 regular season against visiting Holy Cross on Sunday, Oct. 29 at 4 p.m. at Baker Rink.
