Men's Hockey Scores Seven in Win over Sacred Heart
January 25, 2011 | Men's Ice Hockey
PRINCETON (1/25/11) - A 16-day layoff didn't slow the 19th-ranked Princeton men's hockey team down as the Tigers jumped out to an early lead in a convincing 7-1 win over Sacred Heart on Tuesday night at Hobey Baker Rink. Six Tigers had multiple points in the win and 13 skaters tallied at least a point.
Princeton, which last played in a Jan. 9 win over Colgate, scored three times in the first 11 minutes of the game to chase Sacred Heart's starting goalie Olivier St. Onge and build an insurmountable lead. Those three goals came on Princeton's first seven shots.
Brodie Zuk opened the scoring on a backhander through the legs of St. Onge at 5:44 with assists from his linemates Andrew Ammon and Matt Farris. Mike Kramer scored her first of two goals shorthanded less than two minutes later when he finished a 2 on 1 after a pass from Matt Arhontas. Eric Meland then scored on the power play at 10:24, putting in the rebound of a Kevin Lohry shot. Cam Ritchie had his first of two assists on the goal.
Princeton would add another three goals in the second period, scoring twice on the power and once on a delayed penalty. Kramer made it 4-0 when he scored through a screen at 3:02 with assists from Andrew Calof and Arhontas. Then at 13:41 Jack Berger scored his second goal of the year on a delayed penalty, corralling a blocked shot and putting into an open Sacred Heart net, and finally Pallis scored from the point on a 4 on 3. Lohry and Pallis assisted on Berger's goal and Ritchie had the lone assist on the Pallis tally.
The Tigers added a seventh goal in the final stanza as Jeremy Goodwin netted his second of the season on a rebound in front. Meland and Rob Kleebaum has helpers on the goal.
Princeton senior goaltender Alan Reynolds made 19 saves in the win, but had his bid for a shutout end at 14:20 of the third when David Berube scored on a rebound.
Princeton outshot Sacred Heart 59-20 in the win and scored a season-high seven goals. Princeton was 3 for 7 on the power play and killed all five Pioneer power plays.
The Tigers are now 12-6-1 overall and return to ECAC Hockey action this weekend on the road at St. Lawrence and Clarkson.
