Tigers Finish 11-Goal Weekend, Sweep at Mercyhurst
December 10, 2022 | Women's Ice Hockey
Scoring the final five goals of the game, the Princeton women's hockey team closed out 2022 with a 5-1 win at Mercyhurst Saturday afternoon to finish off a weekend sweep in the team's last game before the break for first-semester finals and the holidays.
Princeton will resume competition with an ECAC Hockey weekend Jan. 6-7 against Dartmouth and Harvard. The Princeton hockey programs will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of Baker Rink that weekend in recognition of the first game there on Jan. 5, 1923.
Mercyhurst got on the board first in Saturday's game, with Jersey Phillips finishing a trip up the ice with a centering pass to teammate Liliane Perreault for a finish in the slot with just less than 13 minutes to go in the first period.
Taylor Hyland allowed no more on Saturday as the rookie finished with 35 saves to finish the weekend with wins in both games after entering in relief in Friday's game with the Tigers down 4-2 on the way to a 6-5 overtime win.
Princeton tied it up with less than five minutes left in the opening period. Issy Wunder got in the way of a Mercyhurst pass along the blue line in the Tigers' attacking zone and Annie Kuehl pucked up the loose puck, firing it toward goal and then scoring on her own rebound.
The 1-1 tie persisted until less than three minutes were left in the second period. With the Tigers on a power play, Mariah Keopple freed a puck along the boards to Sarah Fillier, who found sister Kayla Fillier along the goal line for a pass in the slot to Maggie Connors for the finish.
Princeton broke it open in the third period. Less than two minutes after the ice cut, Princeton took a 3-1 lead when Dominique Cormier found Connors at the far post for Connors' 67th career goal, the most among current Tigers. Then, less than seven minutes in, Katherine Khramtsov broke up a pass as Mercyhurst tried to get the puck out of its defensive zone, getting a breakaway and finishing to put Princeton up 4-1. Sarah Fillier had the final goal in a situation that saw Mercyhurst on a 4-on-3 advantage with an empty net. Fillier won a draw in Princeton's defensive zone, poked the puck free of a Mercyhurst stick at the blue line and had all but open ice the rest of the way for the empty-net goal.
