The men’s ice hockey team claimed victory in both Ivy openers against the Brown Bears and the Yale Bulldogs this past weekend.
Princeton won 6–3 against Brown on Friday evening. The Bears were the first to score, but Princeton quickly took over, scoring five consecutive goals of their own. Sophomore defender Mike Kennedy scored first for the Tigers, followed by sophomore forwards Ian Murphy and Mackenzie Merriman, first-year defender David Ma, and junior defender Pito Walton. Senior forward Corey Andonovski contributed one goal in the last period. Princeton’s dominance was shown by lopsided offensive statistics — the Tigers had 47 shots to the Bears’ 16.
The next day, the team defeated the Yale Bulldogs 6–2. The Tigers scored four times in the first two periods, gaining a 4–1 advantage and leaving Yale little time to close the gap.

Football vs. Dartmouth

In the first quarter, Dartmouth scored two touchdowns giving them a 14–0 lead. Although Princeton was able to somewhat bridge the gap with a touchdown of their own in the second quarter, the Big Green’s defense held out strong enough to prevent the Tigers from gaining any momentum. A field goal and two more touchdowns from Dartmouth gave them a 24 point advantage. The two teams are now tied for first place in the Ivy League with 4–1 records.
