Riley Wallack tipped home the winning goal midway through the third period, and Brandon Perrone made 28 saves as Long Island University recorded its first-ever win against Princeton University, 6-4, before 1,817 on-lookers on Saturday night at Hobey Baker Rink.
Cade Mason and Patriks Marcinkevics posted three points apiece for the victorious Sharks (9-15-1), who rebounded from a 2-0 deficit after 20 minutes of play by scoring four of the five goals netted in the second stanza to take a one-goal lead. After Wallack's go-ahead marker, Valtteri Piironen notched his first-ever goal in NCAA play by scoring into an empty net with 37 seconds remaining in regulation to ice the win. The LIU power play went 2-for-4 overall, while its penalty kill finished 5-for-6. The Sharks also won 37 of 64 face-offs.
Nick Seitz, Spencer Kersten (shorthanded), Ian Murphy and David Jacobs (power play) scored for the host Tigers (10-12-0), who got 18 stops in all from Ethan Pearson. It was the third defeat in a row for Princeton overall since fashioning a three-game win streak earlier this month, including a 5-2 triumph over visiting LIU on Jan. 13. The Sharks, meanwhile, have now won three consecutive contests, although the Tigers still lead the all-time head-to-head series, 2-1-1, that began last season.
