Women's Hockey Completes Sweep With 2-1 Win at St. Lawrence
February 14, 2009 | Women's Ice Hockey
CANTON, N.Y. -- The Princeton women's hockey team scored a pair of second period power-play goals and senior goaltender Kristin Young made 12 of her 21 saves in the third period as the Tigers defeated sixth-ranked St. Lawrence 2-1 at Appleton Arena Saturday afternoon.
Princeton, 16-9-2, 13-6-1, completed a season sweep of the Saints who fall to 21-8-3 overall and 15-4-1 in ECAC play. Princeton gained two points on Colgate in the fight for home ice in the ECAC playoffs. Princeton will clinch home ice with two points in next weekend's set of games against Brown and Yale.
The Saints led 1-0 after one period as senior Alison Domenico tipped a shot by defenseman Britni Smith on a power play at 9:47 and while Young got her pads on the shot, it trickled over the goal line with Marianna Locke also assisting.
The Princeton power play cashed in twice in the second period to produce the Tiger win. Senior Katherine Dineen scored her sixth of the season when she collected a rebound of a shot by Christine Foster and tucked it past Saint goalie Brittony Chartier at 6:11 and Foster came through with the eventual game winner when she picked up a loose puck in front after a save on a shot by Dineen and tucked the rebound away for her sixth of the year at 12:46.
The Saints, outshot 29-10 through two periods, turned up the pressure in the third and while they created some great scoring chances, they couldn't cash in. Young came up with a series of big saves and SLU had other shots sail just high or wide in their bid to tie the game. SLU had a power play in the final minute of the game with Chartier out for an extra attacker, but Princeton's Annie Greenwood came up with two big defensive plays and the Tigers were able to run out the clock for the victory.
The Saints went one for six on the power play in Saturday's game while Princeton was two for three. Chartier finished with 31 saves for the Saints.
Princeton visits Brown next Friday night.
