Princeton fell behind 2-0 in the first quarter as Corey Schwartz and Svetozar Stefanovic scored for Brown in the opening period. Brown made its lead 3-0 in the second period before Hudnall scored to make the halftime score 3-1 in Brown's favor.
In the second half, Brown extended its lead to 5-1 before senior Gregor Horstmeyer and Hudnall moved Princeton with two late in the third period. Schwartz's third goal of the game made it 6-3 Brown in the final frame before Wigley scored a pair of man-up goals to move Princeton within a goal with 1:16 remaining, but the Tigers could not get tying goal as Brown held on for the win.
Junior Mike Merlone made 11 saves in the Tiger goal, including seven in the second quarter. Both teams scored three man-up goals in the game.
The Tigers are now 1-3 and return to action next Friday against Johns Hopkins.
