No. 11 Princeton Defeats Harvard as Morey Nets 100th Career Win

Box Score

An unbeaten ECAC Hockey weekend wrapped up Saturday as the No. 11-ranked Princeton women's hockey team defeated Harvard 3-1 to pick up three more points in the league standings and deliver head coach Cara Morey her 100th win at Princeton.

Princeton drew seven power plays on a day that saw the Tigers outshoot the Crimson 70-48 overall while Uma Corniea stopped 30 of Harvard's 31 shots on goal to Princeton's 28.

Princeton opened the scoring with a Sarah Fillier goal less than three minutes into the game, taking a go-ahead pass from Stefanie Wallace and faking out a Harvard defender in the slot on the way to the finish. It stayed 1-0 until 13 minutes were gone in the second period when Annie Kuehl threaded one inside the near post from the left faceoff dot just after a Princeton power play ended, and with 15 seconds to go in the middle frame, Wallace deflected a shot that Emerson O'Leary put on net to give Princeton a 3-0 lead. Fillier added an empty-netter late as she finished with points on three of the four goals.

Fillier finishes the weekend with 81 career goals, eighth-most in program history, 98 career assists, second-most in program history behind the 122 from record-holder Kathy Issel '95, and 179 points, fourth-most in program history and the most since Issel finished with a program-record 218.

Morey is the second coach in program history to get to 100 wins, behind predecessor Jeff Kampersal, who won 327 games from 1996 to 2017 with Morey alongside Kampersal on the bench for the last six of those seasons.

Princeton will return home to face a pair of top-10 teams in Cornell on Friday and Colgate on Saturday at Baker Rink. Tickets are available here.
