A tight contest went the distance at Meehan Auditorium as Princeton and Brown tied, 1-1, before the Bears scored twice in the shootout to secure the extra point in the ECAC standings.

David Ma had Princeton's goal, while Ethan Pearson made 29 saves during regulation and overtime combined.

The Tigers are now 1-2-1 overall, while Brown is 0-3-1.

Princeton was outshot in the game by a slim 30-27 margin, with Brown holding a 23-15 advantage in shots on goal after the first period.

The Tigers were 1-for-2 on the power play, and killed both Brown power plays. For the weekend, Princeton was 7-for-7 on the PK after a perfect 5-for-5 outing the previous night at Yale.

David Ma opened the scoring with a power-play goal late in the first period, looping a wrist shot through traffic and into the top corner for his first goal since November 13, 2021 – a span of 1,099 days as he battled back from multiple injuries.

Brown finally solved Ethan Pearson early in the second period when Max Scott quickly fired home a one-timer after a Princeton turnover during 4-on-4 play.

Pearson was busy in the second as Brown dialed up the pressure, denying the 14 other Bears shots to reach goal in the middle period.

Neither team was able to break through in overtime, with each team landing two shots on goal and a huge hit from David Jacobs denying a late Brown scoring chance to send the game to a shootout.
