No. 6 Princeton Blanks Union to Extend Unbeatean Streak to 12

December 08, 2018 | Women's Ice Hockey

Box Score

The Princeton women's hockey team has matched the program record for longest unbeaten streak this afternoon after a 4-0 win at Union. The Tigers are unbeaten in 12 games going 9-0-3 since October 26 - the longest streak in the nation.

The streak matches the 12 that the 2015-16 NCAA Tournament team had, a team that also has the record for wins in a season with 22.

Senior goaltender Stephanie Neatby made her season debut, stopping all 15 shots she faced.

Junior defender Claire Thompson scored her sixth goal of the season to put the Tigers on the board early, at 4:40 of the first. Thompson had a snipe off a drop pass from freshman Sarah Fillier with Maggie Connors earning the secondary.
