Box Score

HANOVER, N.H. - The Dartmouth women's hockey team fell to Princeton tonight, 3-1, thanks to three unanswered goals by the Tigers. For the Big Green, it was its first loss at home to Princeton since the 2001-02 season.

After a scoreless first period, Dartmouth broke onto the scoreboard when junior Caroline Ethier (Matagami, Que.) fired home a shot from the slot off a feed from freshman Shannon Bowman (Leamington, Ont.). The goal was Ethier's second of the season.

Princeton (2-0-1, 1-0-0 ECACHL) answered with a power play goal later in the period. With two Dartmouth players in the box, Princeton worked the puck around the Big Green's triangle defense. Just one second after the first penalty expired, Princeton found the back of the net when Marykate Oakley scored from the left circle.

The teams began the third knotted at one apiece, but Princeton went ahead for good just 33 seconds into the final frame. While shorthanded, Tarah Clark scored an unassisted goal for the Tigers to take a 2-1 lead. They added an insurance goal at 4:36 of the period when Annie Greenwood scored with assists going to Chrissie Norwich and Kim Pearce.

Princeton outshot the Big Green, 36-18, and went 1-for-5 with the man advantage. Dartmouth (1-1-0, 0-1-0 ECACHL) ended up 0-4 on the power play.

The Big Green plays Quinnipiac tomorrow afternoon at Thompson Arena. Game time is set for 4 p.m.
