ECAC Round Up: Harvard Stays in Second Despite Loss to Princeton

The Huskies will try and buckle down defensively in their two games versus Providence this weekend.

The Friars (16-9-3, 8-7-3) salvaged last weekend by earning two points in a 4-1 win over Cornell after losing to St. Lawrence 6-3 on Saturday. Freshman defender Meredith Roth scored what would prove to be the game winner for the Friars late in the first period. Providence's first game against Northeastern this weekend will be on the road before returning home to face the Huskies again on Sunday.

Niagara (15-12-3, 7-10-3) and Maine (11-12-1, 6-11-1) split their games this weekend. Niagara, led by Tania Pinelli's 24 saves, shut out Maine 2-0 on Friday night. Maine found its offense on Saturday and held on for a 4-3 advantage over the Purple Eagles despite giving up two goals in the last four minutes of the game.

Maine will be on the road versus St. Lawrence and Cornell this weekend. Niagara will host Princeton Friday night.

Princeton (11-10-2, 6-10-2) followed up its 6-2 loss to Brown on Saturday with a 3-1 upset over Harvard. Despite being outshot by a margin of 2-1 in the game against the Crimson, the Tigers prevailed on the strong goaltending of Sarah Ahlquist and the conversion of its only two power play opportunities with two goals. Princeton will be on the road next Saturday against Niagara.

Cornell (9-13-1, 6-11-1) was a winner on Saturday, upsetting Northeastern 3-2, but found itself on the opposite side of the scoreboard Sunday, falling to Providence 4-1. Danielle Bilodeau scored the game winner over the Huskies on the power play with under five minutes remaining in the third period. The Big Red will play host to New Hampshire and Maine this weekend.

Yale (3-19-2, 2-17-1) lost both its games this past weekend. The Bulldogs only managed two goals the entire weekend, and with only 38 goals on the year, Yale claims the unwanted title of the ECAC team with fewest goals. The 3-0 loss to Brown was the seventh time this season Yale has failed to tally a point in a game.
