Box Score

PRINCETON, N.J. (10/29/10) – The Colgate women's ice hockey team suffered its first ECAC Hockey loss of the season when it fell to Princeton 2-0 Friday night at Hobey Baker Memorial Rink. The Raiders (2-5, 0-1), who had two disallowed goals in the game, were unable to find the goal they needed to stay in the game.

Both teams went scoreless in the opening period, despite combining for 23 shots on net through the first 20 minutes of play. Princeton (1-2, 1-0) got on the board first 6:23 into the second period when Sally Butler found the back of the net. The Tigers then scored again eight minutes later when Deanna Laing beat junior goaltender Kimberly Sass (East Amherst, N.Y) to give Princeton a 2-0 lead going into the final period.

Colgate continued to search for a goal in the third period, but even with a flurry of close attempts in the final minutes, the Raiders could not sneak the puck past Cassie Seguin, who made a series of saves to hand Colgate its first league setback of the season.

Sass recorded 26 saves in the game, 15 in the first period, while Seguin made 23 for Princeton in the shutout.

The Raiders will continue their road weekend with another conference matchup against Quinnipiac on Saturday, Oct. 30 at 4 p.m. in Hamden, Conn.
