AVIVA GRUMET-MORRIS Women's Hockey

Coming into the season, women's hockey was not suffering from a lack of talent, simply a lack of players.

But going into last weekend's contests against league doormats Cornell and Colgate, the Tigers knew that despite being shorthanded, they would have to pick up a pair of victories.

After a dominant defensive effort against the Raiders Friday night in which her defense allowed only five shots to reach goaltender Sarah Ahlquist, senior defender Aviva Grumet-Morris turned on her offensive firepower the next night, tallying a pair of assists and her first goal of the season in Princeton's 4-1 win over the Big Red.

Grumet-Morris has been the anchor of a very young Princeton defense this season and has performed admirably, even while skating double shifts much of the time. If her offense can match her defensive intensity, Princeton might be in for a trip to the playoffs.
