ECAC Hockey Season to Return Tuesday for No. 6 Princeton at Quinnipiac
January 26, 2020 | Women's Ice Hockey
With the break for first-semester finals now complete, the sixth-ranked Princeton women's hockey team will head to Quinnipiac Tuesday night to resume the ECAC Hockey League season and the chase for the top of the ECAC.
The Tigers emerge from the finals break with 19 points in the ECAC standings, putting Princeton in fourth place and one point in front of one of this weekend's opponents, Yale, in the race for first-round home ice in the ECAC playoffs. Cornell leads with 26 points, five in front of Harvard (21) and six in front of Clarkson (20).Â
Among Tigers climbing program record lists, senior Claire Thompson has climbed to fifth place on the program's list for career points by a defenseman with 78, 13 back of Laura Watt '07 (91) for fourth. Classmate Carly Bullock's 79's career goals stand seventh on the program's list, eight back of Gretchen Anderson '04 (87) for sixth. Fellow senior Stephanie Neatby's 11 career shutouts are good for fourth all-time, two back of Rebecca Potter '83 (13) and three behind Rebecca Young '09 and Rachel Weber '12 (14) for the record. Neatby's 1,746 career saves have her closing in Weber's 1,787 for fifth on the program's all-time list.Â
Princeton's points leader on the season, Sarah Fillier, who has 13 goals and 21 assists for 34 points, enters the week second in the NCAA in points per game at 2.00 and third in assists per game at 1.24. Sophomore Maggie Connors, who leads the team with 15 goals, was fourth in goals per game at 0.79. As a team, the Tigers' top rankings were fifth in goals per game at 3.89 and fifth in power play percentage at .250.
Princeton's first of the two games this season with Quinnipiac was the ECAC opener back on Oct. 29 at Baker Rink. Sarah Fillier had a pair of goals with Maggie Connors and Annie MacDonald adding one apiece in a 4-2 win. Stephanie Neatby had 36 saves in the win.
