ECAC Hockey Champions! OT Goals Deliver Princeton First Title

February 14, 2026 | Women's Ice Hockey

Box Score

Issy Wunder had the overtime goal to deliver Princeton a 3-2 win over Brown at Baker Rink, and minutes later, after a Quinnipiac late rally that culminated in an overtime goal in Connecticut, the Tigers were ECAC Hockey champions for the first time in program history.

Princeton and Yale finished atop the league with 46 points to share the title, with the Bulldogs getting the top seed on the head-to-head tiebreaker. Princeton will have next weekend off while the ECAC has its opening round, and after the winners are determined and reseeded, Princeton will welcome one of the advancing teams to Baker Rink for a best-of-three series beginning Feb. 27.

Princeton opened the scoring with just less than two minutes to go in the first period when Rosie Klein sent a blast from the top of the slot to get the Tigers on the board, and it stayed that way until Brown's Jade Iginla tied it less than two minutes into the third period.

Wunder had the first of her two goals eight minutes into the second period to put Princeton back in front with 12 minutes left in regulation, sending in a rocket from near where Klein scored her goal two periods before. Just 90 seconds before what would have been a win in regulation, Brown's India McDadi scored to tie it, and the game continued into the OT.

The extra frame lasted just 48 seconds before Wunder scored on a breakaway, delivering Princeton the 3-2 win. Meanwhile, Quinnipiac scored twice in the final two minutes to catch Yale before winning in overtime, holding the Bulldogs to one point and allowing Princeton's two points from the OT win to be enough to pull the Tigers even and claim a share of the championship.

Wunder's two goals lifted her to 25 for the season, making her just the fourth player in program history, and the first this century, to have two 25-goal seasons in her career.
