Short-handed Tigers outmatched by defending champions
Mark GoldsteinThe Princeton men’s hockey team (1-4-1 overall, 1-3-0 Eastern College Athletic Conference) dropped two road tests this weekend in New York, falling to conference leader Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (5-6-0, 4-1-0) 3-1 on Friday and defending national champion Union College (6-5-1, 1-4-1) 6-1 on Saturday. After the men’s squad initiated the fall campaign with a strong showing through three games, including a 2-2 stalemate against Ivy rival Yale in a nonconference showdown and a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Cornell at home, the team has since dropped its last three contests by a combined score of 14-3.
