2007-08 Women's Hockey Schedule Released
June 20, 2007 | Women's Ice Hockey
The 2007-08 Princeton women's hockey schedule was recently announced by Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal. The schedule features 22 ECAC Hockey games and seven non-conference games against teams from Hockey East and College Hockey America.
After a scrimmage with Yale to begin the competitive season, the Tigers host Boston College, a 2007 NCAA Frozen Four team, to open the season on Friday, Oct. 19 at Hobey Baker Rink. Princeton will complete its opening weekend that Sunday when it hosts travel-partner Quinnipiac for its opening ECACH game.
BC will represent one of six NCAA tournament participants and two Frozen Four participants on the Princeton schedule. Other tournament teams on the Princeton schedule, feature league foes Dartmouth, Harvard and St. Lawrence, as well as non-league teams New Hampshire and Mercyhurst. Boston College and St. Lawrence both reached the Frozen Four last season.
Princeton continues with league play facing four of the toughest teams in the league, hosting Clarkson and St. Lawrence and visiting Dartmouth and Harvard, before a non-league trip to Boston University and New Hampshire on Nov. 10-11.
Princeton plays at home the weekends before and after Thanksgiving, facing Cornell and Colgate before, and hosting Mercyhurst for two games after. Series' at Colgate and Cornell, and Union and Rensselaer, wrap up the first half of the season.
After the holiday break, Princeton completes its non-league schedule with two games at Connecticut the first week in January, and then hosts Yale and Brown before a 16-day layoff for final exams. Princeton returns from that break on Tuesday, Jan. 29 at Quinnipiac, then will play four-straight league weekends leading up to the playoffs.
Princeton closes out its home regular-season schedule Feb. 16 against Dartmouth, and wraps up the regular season seven days later at Clarkson.
The top eight teams in the league will qualify for the playoffs, with the top-four hosting the bottom-four in a best-of-three series. The four remaining teams will advance to the ECAC semifinals, which will be held at the home site of the highest remaining seed.
