Women's Hockey Closes Regular Season With 4-1 Win at Yale
February 21, 2009 | Women's Ice Hockey
NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Senior Christine Foster scored two goals in a 1:33 span of the third period to lift the Princeton women's hockey team to a 4-1 win at Yale on Saturday afternoon. The win placed Princeton third in the final ECAC standings and the Tigers will host Rensselaer in next weekend's ECAC quarterfinals.
Neither team was able to score in the first 40 minutes of action, but the goals came quick in the final period as Princeton scored three times in less than three minutes to put the game out of reach. Foster scored the first two at 5:45 and 7:18 to put the Tigers ahead. Foster's late season run continued as she recorded two points for the third straight game and ran her point-scoring streak to six games.
Junior Melanie Wallace added the third goal. Yale's Helen Resor cut the lead to two goals but senior Annie Greenwood capped the scoring with her sixth of the season into the empty Yale net.
Princeton senior goaltender Kristen Young made 23 saves for the win, while Jackee Snickeris made 26 in the loss.
Princeton improved to 18-9-2 overall and 15-6-1 in the ECAC. Princeton's win allowed the Tigers to leap over Dartmouth in the league standings and finish third. The Tigers will host Rensselaer next weekend in the ECAC quarterfinals.
