M. Hockey Falls Out of First Place in ECAC Standings

Brown (4-15-2, 2-10-2) suffered two losses this past weekend at the hands of Cornell and Colgate. The Bears gave up three third-period goals in the loss to Colgate. The loss kept Brown firmly anchored in the cellar of the ECAC.

Colgate (6-16-4, 4-9-1) suffered the opposite extremes of winning and losing this past weekend. After losing to Harvard 4-1 on Friday night, the Red Raiders turned the tables on Brown to come away with a 4-1 victory on Saturday. Colgate capitalized on their power play opportunities, scoring on two of its five chances. Colgate will face Yale and Princeton this weekend.

Yale (10-11-0, 6-8-0) and Princeton (6-12-3, 5-7-2) are currently tied for eighth place in the league with 12 points. The Elis were shut out in both its defeats last weekend--a 6-0 clobbering at the hands of Clarkson on Friday and a close 1-0 loss to St. Lawrence on Saturday. Yale had suffered two shutout defeats in the same weekend once before this year, losing 5-0 and 4-0 to No. 1 Michigan State the first weekend in January.

Princeton did not fair much better against Clarkson, losing 6-1, but the Tigers managed six goals on their own on Friday night defeating St. Lawrence 6-4. Princeton forward Scott Prime's second-period powerplay goal--his first of the year--would prove to be the game-winner over St. Lawrence. The upset snapped an eight-game losing streak for the Tigers.

Both Yale and Princeton will play host to Cornell and Colgate next weekend.
