No. 3 in minutes played (4,656). Stathos alsohas the top 2 single-season save percentage marks (.912 in 1999-2000 and .901 in 2000-01) and three of the top 8. The senior also owns three of the top 5 single-season marks for goals-against average, his best being 2.83 in 1999-2000.
What You Won't 'C' - Captain David Schneider, who's 16 career goals ties him for second most (Steve Shirreffs, 1995-99) in Princeton history among defensemen, is sidelined with an injury.
