Princeton played the part of rude host over Thanksgiving weekend, sweeping 12th ranked Ohio State this weekend with a pair of 3-1 victories at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink. It was the first time the Tigers had ever defeated the Buckeyes, after dropping the first six NCAA men's hockey meetings all-time dating back to 1971.
On Friday night, Jake Manfre scored two goals for the Tigers, who also received 29 saves in net from Arthur Smith. On Saturday afternoon, Princeton got goals from three different skaters, including a shorthanded marker by Brendan Gorman, as all the scoring occurred in the third period. Smith made 37 stops and was just under seven minutes away from a shutout before Joe Dunlap scored his second of two goals on the weekend for OSU.
Both schools will return to conference play next weekend. Princeton (3-4-1 overall) will host Union and Rensselaer in ECAC Hockey action, while OSU will entertain Penn State (9-4-1) for a pair of Big Ten contests.
