November 08, 2009 | Women's Ice Hockey
PROVIDENCE (11/7/09) -- Junior Sasha Sherry and sophomore Paula Romanchuk each had a goal and an assist to lead the Princeton women's hockey team to a 5-0 win at Brown on Saturday afternoon as Princeton recorded its second straight shutout.
Princeton wasted little time getting on the scoreboard as the team's first shot found the back of the net. Sophomore Heather Landry opened the scoring 14 seconds into the game with her fourth goal of the season from Romanchuk and junior Sasha Sherry.
The Tigers made it 2-0 in the final minute of the period when Romanchuk netted her third of the season from classmate Danielle DiCesare and freshman goaltender Cassie Seguin. Princeton caught Brown on a change with the goal as Seguin moved the puck up ice to create the scoring chance.
Princeton built its lead in the second with goals from freshman Kelly Cooke and Sherry. Cooke's goal came at 13:23 with assists from junior Maddie Endicott and freshman Alex Kinney. Sherry's goal came with three minutes left in the period as the Tigers skated with a two-man advantage. Senior Stephanie Denino and DiCesare assisted on the goal.
The Tigers closed the scoring in the third period when sophomore Julie Johnson scored at 4:19 from senior Melanie Wallace.
Princeton outshot Brown 38-18. Seguin stopped all 18 shots she faced; including 10 in the final period to record her second win of the season and her second straight shutout. She now has shut out her opponents for the last 163:16.
Princeton is now 4-1-1 overall and 3-0-1 in the ECAC. The Tigers visit Dartmouth and Harvard next weekend.
