No. 5 Princeton Beats St. Lawrence, Clinches ECAC First-Round Home Ice
February 14, 2020 | Women's Ice Hockey
Sophomore Sarah Fillier achieved her 100th career point, the fifth-ranked Princeton women's hockey team extended their unbeaten streak to 10 games and their winning streak to six, and the Tigers secured home ice for the first round of the ECAC Hockey Playoffs, all with Friday night's 4-0 win at St. Lawrence.
The first round of the ECACÂ playoffs is a best-of-three series Feb. 28 and 29 with a third game set for March 1 if necessary. Princeton's opponent is to be determined. All games will be at 3 p.m.
The ECAC playoff series will be a ticketed event. Advance tickets are priced at $5 for adults, and $3 for children and Princeton University students. Day-of tickets will be $10 for adults, $5 for children and $3 for Princeton University students. The first 100 Princeton University students will receive free tickets.Â

Princeton scored less than three minutes into the game when Maggie Connors took the puck up ice, curled around the back of the net and found Annie Kuehl on the doorstep for the early lead.
Â
Just past the midway point of the second period, the lead became 2-0 when Connors shifted a cross-crease pass to Sharon Frankel, who sent it in.
Â
Fillier's milestone point came with less than six minutes to go in the game when Carly Bullock took a puck up ice and sent a pass to a trailing Fillier for the goal.
Â
Bullock added an empty netter just more than two minutes later for the final goal of the night.
Â
Goalie Stephanie Neatby had the shutout, the 12th of her career, on 16 saves to put her at 1,798 for her career. With the shutout, she moves into a tie for fourth all-time at Princeton and two back of the record. She moved up a spot on the career saves list to fifth, and with 39 wins, she remains in fifth on the Princeton career list in that stat.
The win was Princeton's 20th of the season, marking the seventh time Princeton has reached that number, and all in the last 18 seasons. The program record is 22, set in the 2015-16 season.
Princeton will look to complete the weekend sweep in a national top-10 battle Saturday at 3 p.m., visiting No. 6 Clarkson.
