I'M ON FIRE

THE 'E' STREET SHUFFLE

This comes after tallying six total points -- all assists -- over 43 games during his first three seasons.

MAN AT THE TOP
Jake Manfre is the man at the top of the Princeton rookie scoring race with 7-8-15 totals through 25 games. After tallying an assist in his first collegiate game against Harvard (11/8) he notched his first career goal in his third career game with a redirection at Yale (11/15) before exploding for 2 PPGs and an assist in a 3-1 win over Ohio State (11/29) and adding an assist against the Buckeyes on 11/30 for a four-point weekend to earn ECAC Rookie of the Week honors and ECAC Rookie of the Month honors for November.
