BOX SCORE
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (11/27/15) - Four different players scored for Princeton as the women's hockey team blanked RIT 4-0 in Game 1 of the two-game series.While senior Kimberly Newell made 19 saves in her first shutout of the season, the big effort came from the offense as Princeton outshot RIT 46-19.
Freshman Karlie Lund, junior Hilary Lloyd and junior Kelsey Koelzer each had two-point nights with a goal and an assist for each. Junior Morgan Sly scored as well while junior Molly Contini, senior Jaimie McDonell and sophomore Emily Achterkirch picked up assists.
Princeton was 2 for 5 on the penalty kill, scoring its first two goals on the man-advantage and was 2 for 2 on the penalty kill to improve to 96 percent on the season (48 of 50).
Lund got things started converting on the first power-play opportunity of the game at 12:22 of the first period. Lloyd found Lund on the doorstep and she beat Brooke Stoddart at the left post.
The Tigers of New York had a chance to tie it up a few minutes later when Lindsay Stenason fired a shot from the slot that hit the post.
Kelsey added the team's second power-play goal at 5:49 of the second period. She got the puck off an RIT dump in behind her own cage, raced up the side past a few RIT defenders and made a move inside the circle before put the puck over Stoddart's left shoulder.
The third goal came just 49 seconds into the third period when Contini's pass was deflected but found Sly just to the right of the goal and she was able to put it away.
Lloyd tallied her first goal of the season from Lund and Achterkirch at 11:58 with a low shot on Stoddart.
Newell's best save of the night came late when RIT had a breakaway opportunity. Logan Land deked left and attempted to go high right but the quick glove of Newell prevented the goal and gave her the clean sheet.
The Tigers will play the finale of their series at the Gene Polisseni Center tomorrow at 3 p.m.
