Quinnipiac Finishes Sweep of Princeton


Ninth-ranked Quinnipiac stretched its winning streak to six games by completing a two-step sweep of No. 19 Princeton on Saturday night at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink in New Jersey.

The Bobcats rebounded from two one-goal deficits by tallying four goals in the second period and two more in the third to top the Tigers, 6-3. Quinnipiac improves to 13-2-0 overall (6-2-0 ECAC Hockey), while Princeton falls to 3-6-1 (2-4-1 ECAC) after suffering its fifth consecutive defeat.

Chase Priskie scored two goals for the Bobcats, the first one on the power play and the second the game-winner, and now has 11 total goals on the season. Craig Martin also notched two goals, and Odeen Tufto posted three assists for Quinnipiac, which finished 2-for-5 on the power play and got 27 saves in all from Keith Petruzzelli.

Jackson Cressey scored twice for Princeton, which got 28 stops from Ryan Ferland and also went 1-for-6 with a man advantage. The Tigers host NCAA independent Arizona State for a pair of games next weekend, while the Bobcats will play a home-and-home series with third-ranked Massachusetts.
