PRINCETON, N.J.
(11/15/08) ? The Princeton women's hockey team toppled Vermont, 3-1 on Saturday, Nov. 15 at Baker Rink
with three different freshmen scoring for the Tigers. Danielle DiCesare led the
Tigers with a goal and an assist, as Princeton dominated the game, taking 36
shots to Vermont's
eight.
Despite a 10-4 shot advantage in the first period, it was Vermont (3-9) that took
the early lead. The Catamounts grabbed a 1-0 lead at 13:10 when Erin
Barley-Maloney scored a power-play goal on the first extra-man chance of the
game.
Princeton (3-5) responded
quickly to start the second period with a power-play goal of its own. DiCesare
ripped a shot from the point that bounced around in traffic, before junior Melanie
Wallace poked it free and freshman Paula Romanchuk put her stick on the puck
and slipped in past Vermont's Ashley Walenty at 00:53.
DiCesare added another eight minutes later, with a
blistering shot that went over the shoulder of Walenty. Junior defender Stephanie
Denino earned the assist on the goal.
The Tigers weren't done yet as freshman Charissa Standynk
made it 3-1 Princeton at 12:33 of the second. Senior
Christine Foster delivered a great pass in the slot to Standynk and she easily
banked in the shot. Sophomore Sasha Sherry picked up credit with the first
assist on the play.
Kristen Young made seven saves in net for Princeton,
and Walenty stopped 33 shots.
Princeton went 1-for-5 on the power play, and Vermont went 1-for-4.
Princeton returns to Baker
Rink next weekend, Nov. 21-22, hosting St. Lawrence and Clarkson. Game times
are at 7 p.m., and 4 p.m., respectively.
