Box Score
Princeton, N.J. - The Princeton women's hockey team (7-3-0) scored early and often to rout Boston College (3-8-0) 8-0 Sunday afternoon at Baker Rink. The Tigers scored five times in the first period and three times in the third to record their highest goal total of the season. Senior Gretchen Anderson led the charge with two goals and two assists.
Sophomore forward Heather Jackson started the scoring off, taking a pass in front of the Boston College net and firing a quick slap shot, which hit goalie Christine Moynihan's pads and trickled through at 4:33. Senior Lisa Rasmussen and Anderson tallied assists on the goal. The Tigers added a second goal less than a minute later when junior Katharine Maglione took a pass from Anderson at the left point, and slung a wrist shot through for her first goal of the season. Two Eagle penalties back-to-back set up a five-one-three power play for Princeton 8:34 into the period, and Anderson capitalized, taking a cross-crease pass from senior Susan Hobson and slipping the puck in on the right side for a 3-0 Tiger lead. Sophomore Sarah Greer and freshman Kim Pearce also added goals in the first. Greer scored on a backhand in front of the net after freshman Liz Keady slid her a pass across at 11:31, and Pearce scored after collecting a loose puck on the left side and beating Moynihan in the upper right corner at 15:29.
"We started off prepared to play," Kampersal said. "Whatever they did in the locker room, they were mentally focused."
Sophomore Roxanne Gaudiel replaced senior Megan Van Beusekom in net in the second period as the teams skated to a penalty-riddled stalemate in the middle frame.
Princeton had many chances in front of the net in the period, but was unable to convert.
The third period was scoreless for nearly 13 minutes before the Tigers scored two goals in less than a minute for the second time in the game. Hobson slapped a one-timer home from right in front of the net at 12:53 and Anderson added her second goal of the game, and fifth of the weekend, at 13:45. Senior Angela Gooldy and sophomore Chrissie Norwich assisted on Hobson's goal, while freshman Alison Ralph tallied her first career assist on Anderson's tally. The goal capped a stellar weekend for Anderson who recorded a hat trick in Friday's 3-2 win at Yale.
Senior forward Lisa Rasmussen added a goal at 17:35 from junior April Brown and Hobson.
"We had a day off yesterday, which helped," Kampersal said. [Boston College] had to travel, which didn't help them. We've played a lot of tough games, so it was good to have a breakout game."
Van Beusekom got the win, making one save in the first period to improve to 5-3-0. Gaudiel made 10 stops in two periods.
"Hopefully this gets us ready for St. Lawrence, who is pretty much a division rival, a team that's important for that first, second, third spot that we'll be battling for."
The Tigers host St. Lawrence next weekend for a pair of ECAC games. The teams meet Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 4 p.m.
