Princeton Falls At Rensselaer 3-1, Defending NCAA champ Union Is Next
November 14, 2014 | Men's Ice Hockey
Final Stats
The Princeton men's hockey team started its weekend with the first-place team in the ECAC and will finish it with the defending NCAA champion. Oh, and this is all on the road.
In other words, this wasn't going to be an easy two-day stretch for the Tigers.
Princeton fell 3-1 at RPI Friday night as the Engineers scored twice in the first 12 minutes of the game. Ben Foster scored the lone Princeton goal, on a power play with eight minutes to go in the third, after the Tigers were behind 3-0.
Princeton is now 1-3-1 on the season, 1-2-0 in the ECAC. Next up is a game Saturday (7) at Union, the 2014 NCAA champion who fell to 0-4-1 in the league with a 4-3 loss to Quinnipiac Friday night.
After going 1-5-0 in its non-league games, RPI is now 4-1-0 and in first place in the ECAC.
RPI outshot Princeton 35-25 for the game and 14-7 in the first period, when the Engineers scored twice. It was 1-0 on Mark Miller's goal 8:45 in, and Jered Wilson made it 2-0 a little more than three minutes later.
Neither team scored in the second period, and RPI added one - Miller's second of the night and third of the year - with 10:19 gone in the third. Princeton got on the board when Foster, a sophomore, scored with exactly eight minutes to play on a power play goal with exactly eight minutes left.
RPI goalie Jason Kasdorf had made 15 saves in the first 52 minutes of the game before the Foster goal. He then had to make nine more in the last eight as the Engineers held on.
Colton Phinney made 32 saves for Princeton.
