Although PU Hockey Falls Twice to Quinnipiac, Tigers See Plenty of Positives
Bill Alden, Town Topics (12/12/12)
Jack Berger and his teammates on the Princeton University men's hockey squad got an up close and personal view last weekend of what is making Quinnipiac one of the hottest teams in the country.
Playing a home-and-home set against the Bobcats, the Tigers dropped a 3-1 decision at the TD Bank Sports Center in Hamden, Conn. on Friday evening before losing 3-0 to Quinnipiac the next day at Baker Rink. The wins extended the Bobcat's unbeaten streak to 10 as they have risen to No. 9 in the national polls.
Although junior forward and captain Berger had hoped to lead Princeton to a pair of victories over the weekend, he believes the Tigers still gained something valuable from the experience of battling the Bobcats (12-3-2 overall, 8-0 ECACH).
"We wanted to get more points than zero, we wanted to win both games," said Berger, reflecting on a weekend which left Princeton at 3-6-3 overall and 2-3-3 in ECAC Hockey action.
