Princeton outshot Union 18-3 in the first period, but Tim Cregan's breakaway at the end of the 1st gave Union some momentum going into the 2nd Period. Union was the better team in the 2nd, as they used 2 power play goals to pull to within 4-3. But the 3rd period was scoreless, and Princeton completed its weekend sweep of RPI and Union. Keith Reynolds, who was at the game, has already provided a summary of the game. Here are some comments from Union alum Elliot Olschwang, who was also at Saturday's game: ----- In my opinion Union was not outplayed in general but it seemed (although I don't have the stats to back this up) that Princeton was able to convert power plays early on and Union gave them the power plays early on. Union spent more time on their side of the ice than they did on princeton's side of the ice. Basically Union got behind early and never did catch up. They matched well with princeton and with a couple breaks different ways could have won this one. Elliot ----- Union will look for it's first win in the ECAC this Friday, as they travel to 11th place Dartmouth. Union returns home the following Saturday (1/25) to host local rival RPI. It will be RPI's first trip trip to Achilles since the incredible game back in November of '88, which Union won in OT 4-3. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jim Teresco Union College | | [log in to unmask] Schenectady, NY 12308 | | [log in to unmask] Owner/GM - Amsterdam Ice-9 of the BBL | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
