Men's Hockey Knocked Off By Cornell
January 17, 2025 | Men's Ice Hockey
Princeton scored first to open its game against Cornell at Hobey Baker Rink, but a five consecutive goals from the Big Red flipped the game away from the Tigers who fell by a score of 6-2.
A pair of Princeton defenseman netted their first collegiate goals as freshman Kai Greaves and junior Brendan Wang found the back of the net.
Remington Keopple made 23 saves for the Big Red, while Arthur Smith stopped 25 shots.
Kai Greaves got the Tigers on the board just past the five-minute mark of the game with his first career goal. He weaved his way through the neutral zone, drawing a final defender toward him before firing through the screen and over Keopple's glove for a 1-0 Princeton lead.
Kyler Kovich made it 2-1 in favor of Cornell with 5:52 to play in the opening period. A wrist shot from Michael Suda was blocked by a Princeton player, but the carom found its way to Kovich who had an open net after Smith had slid the other way in anticipation of the original shot.
The Big Red extended their lead to 4-1 through two periods via goals from Dalton Bancroft and Jake Kraft in the second.
Bancroft scored 3:16 into the middle period, scooping home a loose puck after a redirection in front off a Cornell faceoff win.
Late in the period, Kraft tipped in a Ben Robertson shot from the point with 4:19 to play in the second to give the Big Red a 4-1 lead.
Jonathan Castagna added a fifth goal for Cornell with a breakaway tally 3:50 into the third period.
A second Tiger would go on to score his first collegiate goal as Brendan Wang ripped a power-play goal with 7:38 to play in the game following a backhanded saucer pass from Kevin Anderson.
Bancroft tacked on a power-play goal for the Big Red with 3:56 to play as the puck luck continued to go Cornell's way when his soft wrister from the point deflected off the shot block attempt by a Princeton defender and into the top corner.
Princeton concludes its home ECAC weekend with a 7 p.m. faceoff against Colgate on January 18.
