No. 8/8 Princeton Sweeps Second Consecutive Weekend, Tops St. Lawrence, 6-2

November 23, 2019 | Women's Ice Hockey

Box Score

With their fifth straight win, the eighth-ranked Princeton women's hockey team swept its second consecutive weekend Saturday afternoon at Baker Rink, following Friday night's win over No. 5/5 Clarkson with a 6-2 win over St. Lawrence.

The win improves Princeton to 9-2 on the season and 7-2 in the ECAC Hockey League with 14 points, good for first in the league heading into the Thanksgiving break with ECAC play starting back up on Dec. 6. Princeton will host Cornell at Baker Rink that night at 7.

The teams entered the first intermission scoreless, but that didn't last long after returning to the ice for the second period. Just 70 seconds into the frame, Sharon Frankel found Carly Bullock from behind the net, and Bullock threaded the puck through a crowd in the crease for the afternoon's first goal.

Less than 90 seconds after Frankel's goal, Maggie Connors made it 3-0, controlling a loose puck at the center of a triangle of three Saints players in the slot and firing it in.

Sarah Fillier, who had both goals in Princeton's 2-1 win over Clarkson Friday night, had a rebound to give Princeton a 4-0 lead and make it four goals in less than five minutes.

St. Lawrence's Rachel Teslak scored with less than four minutes to go in the second period to get the Saints on the board, but Princeton took a 4-1 lead into the second intermission.

Just as Bullock opened the scoring soon after the second period began, she did the same in the third, taking a feed from Sarah Fillier and slipping it around St. Lawrence's second netminder, Caitlin Whitehead, for a four-goal lead.

St. Lawrence's Jessica Poirier answered just 41 seconds after Bullock's second goal, but Frankel restored the four-goal lead by sending in a rebound just before the midway point of the third period.
