Lowly Union beats m. hockey; Tigers rebound to top RPI

The men's hockey team entered this weekend looking for a spark. The defense had been playing well, only to see games slip away because of a lack of scoring power.Against two Eastern College Athletic Conference opponents, Union (4-5-3 overall, 1-3-1 ECAC) Friday night, and Rensselaer (5-5-1, 2-2-1) on Saturday, the Tigers had an opportunity to improve on the inconsistency that has plauged them recently.With both the Skating Dutchmen and the Engineers running in the middle of the ECAC pack, this could have been the perfect weekend for Princeton to pad its road record.With no other ECAC games for more than a month, this was an important chance for Princeton to move up in the standings.It could have been a big weekend for the team.
