PRINCETON (2/19/10) - Brown's Laurie Jolin scored with 19 seconds left in overtime to lift her team to a 4-3 win over the Princeton women's hockey team on Friday night at Hobey Baker Rink.
Princeton built a 2-0 lead in the game before Brown responded with three consecutive goals. Princeton evened the game at 3-3 and forced overtime but Jolin's lunge for a loose puck along the goal line ended the game in Brown's favor and eliminated Princeton's chance for home ice in the quarterfinal round of the ECAC playoffs.
Danielle DiCesare gave Princeton a 1-0 lead less than two minutes into the game when she scored her team-leading 11th goal of the season on the power play. After a point shot, Melanie Wallace and Corey Stearns battled in front of the net until a rebound came to DiCesare on the opposite side for the wide-open goal.
Stearns made it 2-0 with her seventh goal of the season less than three minutes into the second period when her shot from the top of the left circle ricocheted off a Brown defenseman and underneath goaltender Katie Jamieson. The puck trickled just over the goal line, but got completely across it and Princeton led by two goals.
Brown responded immediately when Sasha Van Muyen scored at 4:00 off down the left side and then drew even at 16:37 when Vika Mukolenko redirected a Nicole Brown pass to convert on a 2 on 1 for her first goal of the season.
Brown made it 3-2 when Katelyn Landry redirected Erica Kromm's point shot over Princeton goaltender Rachel Weber at 4:55 of the third period, but Princeton quickly answered to even the score at 3-3 when Charissa Stadnyk's shot beat Jamieson 59 seconds later, after Caroline Park caused a turnover at the Bear blue line.
Neither team scored in the remaining 14 minutes of regulation and the game went to overtime where the Bears emerged victorious. The win was Brown's first league win of the season.
Wener made 32 saves in the Brown net while Jamieson stopped 30 shots. Brown outshot Princeton 36-33.
Princeton drops to 12-12-4 overall and 10-7-4 in the ECAC. The Tigers will now finish either sixth and seventh in the final ECAC standings. Princeton hosts Yale tomorrow at 4 p.m.
