Princeton University's 2024-25 men's hockey season has come to a close. The Tigers fell, 3-2, at Ivy League rival Brown University tonight in the first round of the 2025 ECAC Hockey championship to finish their first campaign under new head coach Ben Syer.
Princeton took a 1-0 lead in the first period at Meehan Auditorium on a goal by Jayden Sisson, before Ryan St. Louis tied it in the second stanza for the Bears. Two goals by Brown's Tyler Kopff in the third period, the second one an empty-netter, spelled the difference, while Princeton's Kevin Anderson closed out the scoring in the final seconds of regulation with an extra-attacker tally.
Ethan Pearson made 22 saves in his final appearance for the Tigers, while Lawton Zachler finished with 20 stops for the Bears. Brown outshot Princeton, 25-22, and also won 28 of 54 total faceoffs on the night. Both teams went 0-for-3 on the power play.
Brown (14-13-3 overall, 9-11-2 ECACH) moves on to face third-seeded Colgate in the best-of-three second round of the ECACs next weekend, while Princeton (12-15-3, 7-12-3) will return to NCAA action at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink in the fall for the 2025-26 season.
