Princeton returned to action last weekend at Minnesota State and Nebraska-Omaha following a 20-day layoff during the holidays. Princeton dropped the first game of its two-game trip on Friday 6-1 at Minnesota State, but rebounded two days later with a 5-3 win at Nebraska-Omaha.
The Win at UNO
Trailing 2-1 after two periods, Princeton scored four goals in the third period to come from behind and defeat the Mavericks 5-3 on Sunday night in Omaha.

League Play
