Men's Hockey Edged by Cornell Friday Afternoon
November 07, 2008 | Men's Ice Hockey
PRINCETON -- Cornell's Tyler Mugford scored early in the third period to lead 17th-ranked Cornell to a 1-0 win over the ninth-ranked Princeton men's hockey team on Friday afternoon at Hobey Baker Rink in front of a capacity crowd and a national television audience on ESPNU.
The game was an early season battle among the teams picked first and third in the ECAC Hockey media and coaches preseason poll that lived up to its billing with play going end-to-end and great scoring chances at both ends of the ice.
Neither team was able to score in either of the first two periods. In the first period the teams battled from the get-go with Princeton holding an 8-3 shots edge after a period. Princeton again outshot Cornell 15-10 in the second period but couldn't crack Cornell netminder Ben Scrivens whose save total grew throughout the night.
Princeton started the third period with a two-man advantage for 1:19 but couldn't take advantage as Cornell killed the entire penalty off. Moments after returning to even strength the Big Red got on the scoreboard when Mugford scored on a wristshot high on the glove side of Princeton junior netminder Zane Kalemba off the rush. Jared Seminoff assisted on the goal.
Princeton had several chances to even the score but couldn't crack Scrivens, who stopped 20 shots in the third period alone and finished the night with 43 saves in the shutout. Kalemba made 18 saves in the Princeton goal. Junior Dan Bartlett led all Tigers with seven shots on goal, with sophomore Taylor Fedun adding six shots and senior Brett Wilson four.
Princeton falls to 1-1 with the loss while Cornell is now 1-0. Princeton hosts Colgate tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m.
