Women's Ice Hockey

The women's hockey team’s season began on a disappointing note, with the Tigers dropping five of their first six battles on the ice. This start was only the beginning of what became a roller coaster year for Princeton, characterized by both streaks of poor play and streaks of outstanding execution. A seven-game winless streak put the Tigers’ conference record at 3-6-1, and the team was at risk of missing the playoffs for the first time since the 2000-01 season.

When the women’s hockey team skated out onto the ice this past Friday at Baker Rink to face Quinnipiac in a best-of-three ECAC quarterfinal series, it had won 13 of its previous 15 games, including eight of nine at Baker Rink. But Princeton could not get past a tough Quinnipiac defense, as the Bobcats swept the series 2-0, securing a spot in the ECAC semifinals for the first time in program history.

The women's hockey team were eliminated in the ECAC quarterfinals for the fifth consecutive year with a 2-0 loss in Game 2 at Baker Rink on Saturday. Replay our live blog to see how it went down.

Halfway through the weekend's games and both the men's and women's hockey teams have been involved in tightly-fought one goal games. Here's a weekend update for all you hockey enthusiasts.

The women’s hockey team finished out its regular season play this past weekend with a pair of away matches against Brown and Yale.  They finished the weekend with a perfect 2-0, beating Brown on Friday 4-2 before proceeding to beat Yale on Saturday 4-1.
