F. Hockey Tries to Cage Tigers

To ensure that the Tigers don't suddenly rediscover their scoring touch, tri-captain Anya Cowan will have to be spectacular in between the posts.

Cowan carries the Ivy's second highest save percentage into tomorrow's game at .825, and has performed exceptionally well when the Crimson has needed her the most.

Her strong second half performances against cross-town rivals B.C. and Northeastern solidified narrow 2-1 come-from-behind victories and showed everyone why Cowan is one of the top money goalies in the league.

However, Cowan is sure to be tested often and early by an aggressive Princeton offense that likes to take a lot of shots. The Tigers have out shot all but one their opponents this season.

Their offense will be lead by junior forward Hilary Matson. Matson's speed up front makes her both a powerful offensive weapon and an amazing decoy.

Alongside Matson will be tri-captain Katie Caroll, who was moved up from the midfield following the loss to Brown to give the Tigers more experience at the forward position.

Caroll was described by her coach earlier this year as a natural finisher with an impeccable touch around the net, and the Tigers will need her scoring knack if they are to capitalize on more of their opportunities.
