Box Score

A back and forth contest went all the way to a shootout before Princeton secured an extra point in the ECAC standings at #15/19 Harvard. The game went through regulation and overtime tied, 4-4, before Princeton scored twice in the shootout to just one goal from the Crimson.

The Tigers got goals from all four classes, with Joshua Karnish (first career goal), Brendan Gorman, Jack Cronin and Nick Seitz scoring.

Adam Robbins and Noah de la Durantaye had the goals in the shootout to help the Tigers secure their first points in Cambridge since a 2-1 (OT) win on 3/2/13.

Joshua Karnish connected on his first shot on goal just 2:24 into the game, sneaking free in the low slot and flipping an Adam Robbins pass over Aku Koskenvuo's glove and in.

The Crimson would tie the game at 1-1 with 8:53 left in the first period when Ryan Fine batted home a Ben MacDonald pass at the far right post.

Just over 90 seconds later, the Crimson connected for a power-play goal and a 2-1 lead when Joe Miller gathered up a loose puck after fanning on a cross-ice pass and scored from the top of the circle.

The Tigers sent the game to the first intermission tied, 2-2, after a PPG of its own in the final minute of the period. Following a faceoff win by Adam Robbins, Nick Carabin sent a shot in from the point which caused some chaos at the goalmouth. Robbins pushed a loose puck towards goal, and Nick Seitz quickly funneled it under Koskenvuo's pads for his first of the season.

Neither team connected in the second period, but the Tigers pounced quickly in the third period to take a 3-2 lead. David Jacobs carried the puck from his own end into the Harvard zone on a 2-on-1, drawing a Crimson defender to him before threading a pass to Brendan Gorman who flipped home his first of the season under the crossbar 1:01 into the third period.

That goal seemed to light both offenses up a bit. Marek Hejduk scored for Harvard to tie the game at 3-3 just before seven minutes had gone by in the third. Less than a minute later, Jack Cronin deflected home a Brendan Wang shot to give Princeton a 4-3 lead – a lead which lasted 0:25 before Joe Miller tied the game at 4-4.

The Tigers head to Dartmouth to finish up the first weekend of the season, taking on the Big Green November 4 at 7 p.m.
