No. 6 Princeton Scores Early, Late to Beat Rensselaer
February 07, 2020 | Women's Ice Hockey
Two goals in the first three minutes and another in the third period made up the scoring for the sixth-ranked Princeton women's hockey team Friday night as the Tigers beat RPI 3-1 at Baker Rink.
Sarah Fillier, who was in on all three goals on the night, scored just 11 seconds into the game as the Tigers won the opening draw and Mariah Keopple fired a pass up ice to a charging Fillier for the goal.
Â
Before the game was three minutes old, Fillier had her first assist to go with that early goal, winning a draw and finding Maggie Connors on the doorstep of the goal for a 2-0 lead.
Â
RPI pulled to within 2-1 with eight-plus minutes to go in the game when Megan Hayes put a puck on net that found its way through to get the Engineers on the board. Claire Thompson restored the two-goal lead, rocketing one from just inside the blue line into the net less than three minutes after RPI's goal.
Â
Princeton outshot RPI on goal 57-18 on the night with Ena Nystrom making 54 saves. At the other end, Stephanie Neatby made 17 saves to lift her to 1,782 for her career, just five back of Rachel Weber '12 for fifth place on the Princeton career list.
