Box Score
NORTHFORD, Conn. - Annie Greenwood scored to put Princeton ahead in the first period and Kim Pearce had assists on two third-period goals that put the game away as the No. 8 Tigers defeated Quinnipiac, 3-0, in an ECAC Women's Hockey League game played Tuesday night at the Northford Ice Pavilion.
Princeton (12-5-4, 8-2-2 ECACHL), which won its third straight game, outshot the Bobcats (9-13-4, 3-9-2 ECACHL) 46-16 but didn't salt the game away until midway through the third period. Laura Watt took advantage of a power-play situation to make the score 2-0 Princeton 7:20 into the third, and the Tigers added insurance five minutes later when Kate Hession scored with assists going to Pearce and Tarah Clark.
Roxanne Gaudiel saved all 16 Quinnipiac shots for the Tigers, who earned a season sweep of the Bobcats after defeating Quinnipiac earlier in the season at Baker Rink. The shutout was her second of the 2005-06 season.
Greenwood's game winner came just more than six minutes into the first period. Brittany Salmon and Heather Jackson had assists on the goal, Greenwood's 16th goal of the season.
Princeton is now tied for second place in the ECACHL with Clarkson and St. Lawrence, one point behind first-place Brown with a game in hand over the Bears. The Tigers play at St. Lawrence and Clarkson this upcoming weekend.
The Tigers finished 1 of 4 on the power play, while Quinnipiac finished 0 for 3 on power-play situations.
