EYE ON THE TIGERS
Sporting the longest unbeaten steak in program history, and in the nation, at 14 games, the No. 6 ranked Princeton Tigers look to keep the momentum going. The Tigers are 10-2-4 overall and 8-0-2 in the ECAC, sitting in first place in the standings. Princeton boasts the fifth best scoring offense in the nation, averaging 3.50 goals per game. Junior Carly Bullock is eighth in the country in scoring with 24 points in 16 games and is fifth in the nation in goals per game. Freshman Sarah Fillier is fourth in the nation in scoring and the nation's top scoring freshman, with 21 points in 12 games. She is also second nationally in assists per game with 14 to her credit. Senior Karlie Lund adds 16 points and junior defender Claire Thompson has 15. Thompson's 0.94 ppg ranks her second in the nation in scoring defenders. Freshman Maggie Connors and sophomore Sharon Frankel are also in double digits in scoring. The Princeton defense has limited teams to just 1.75 goals per game with three capable netminders working for the Tigers this season. Sophomore Rachel McQuigge has a 6-2-4 record with a .931 save percentage and a 1.79 goals against average. Junior Stephanie Neatby and freshman Cassie Reale are both 2-0. The Tigers combined special teams are the third best in the nation with the power play third at 23.4 percent (15/64). The penalty kill has a rate of 85.5 percent (59/69).
