Box Score

PRINCETON –No. 2 Quinnipiac scored twice in each period to down Princeton, 6-0, at Hobey Baker Rink.

The Tigers were outshot, 43-24, in the game. Jeremie Forget made 30 saves in two-plus periods with multiple Quinnipiac goals coming off redirections, while Aidan Porter stopped all seven shots he faced after coming on for the final 12:17 of the game. Joe Berg, Christian O'Neill and Mark Paolini led Princeton with three shots on goal apiece.

The Bobcats scored twice in each of the first two periods to build a 4-0 lead after 40:00.

Zach Metsa opened the scoring with a fluky goal after his shot was stopped by Jeremie Forget only for the rebound to carom off of a Princeton defender and back through Forget 7:32 into the game.

Michael Lombardi doubled Quinnipiac's lead with 5:41 left in the opening period, tipping home a Metsa shot.

In the second, Desi Burgart made it 3-0 7:21 into the frame, one-timing home the rebound of a Lombardi shot off an odd-man Quinnipiac rush. Oliver Chau netted a power-play goal with 1:06 left in the middle stanza.

In the third, Joey Cipollone scored 2:41 in to make it 5-0 with a short-side wrister. Just before the midway mark of the third, Lombardi scored his second of the game with a shot from the slot to make it 6-0.

The Tigers are back at Hobey Baker Rink on Friday, hosting Brown at 1 p.m.
