Princeton Heads to Clarkson for ECAC Hockey Quarterfinals
February 28, 2008 | Women's Ice Hockey
The Princeton women's hockey team opens the ECAC Hockey playoffs this weekend at Clarkson, the same opponent it faced last Saturday to close out the regular season. Princeton is the fifth-seeded team in the league tournament and will face fourth-seeded Clarkson in the best-of-three quarterfinal series.
Play gets underway on Friday at 3:30 p.m. with the first game. Games 2 and 3, if necessary, will take place on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Live video casts of all ECAC Hockey playoff games are available through B2 networks. For more information, click here.
Princeton was fifth entering the final weekend of the regular season and remained there following a split against St. Lawrence and Clarkson. The Tigers began the weekend last Friday night with a 9-2 loss at St. Lawrence that eliminated Princeton from home-ice contention. Juniors Monica Brennan and Annie Greenwood scored in the loss for Princeton.
The Tigers bounced back a day later though with a 2-1 win down the road at Clarkson. Princeton trailed after one as Clarkson scored on the power play in the final minute of the first, but the Tigers countered 2:04 into the second on senior Brittany Salmon's 10th goal of the season. From that point the game stayed deadlocked until junior defenseman Stephanie Denino scored her first goal of the season with 3:06 remaining. The goal came shorthanded as Princeton had a 2 on 1 and senior Lizzie Keady fed Denino a perfect pass that resulted in the goal.
Princeton is now 9-3-4 in its last 16 games and will look to build off of last Saturday's win this weekend in its playoff series. Princeton took both games from Clarkson during the regular season, winning each by a goal. In addition to last Saturday's win, Princeton topped Clarkson on Oct. 26 at Hobey Baker Rink. Senior Marykate Oakley had a hand in all three goals in the 3-2 win, setting up Salmon's first goal, and scoring the next two. The game winner came midway through the third period.
Clarkson is 22-7-5 overall and finished league play at 13-6-3 It is hosting a playoff series for the first time in its history. The Golden Knights are 8-2-2 in their last 12 with their lone loss coming to St. Lawrence and Princeton. Princeton is 9-0-1 all-time against Clarkson and is 5-0-0 in games played in Potsdam.
