Game Over

The game ends 5-1 (UND adds an empty-net goal by Chay Genoway, and Princeton scores with 32 seconds left on a wrist shot from MacIntyre). For the Tigers it was a well-played game, but a few penalties really hurt them. Discipline was one of this team's strong suits all year, today it just got to them. Great game by Lamoureux (he may be playing his way to the Hobey Baker award) as well as the UND top line of Duncan-Oshie-Miller, which had a hand in all five goals.

It was a great season for the Tigers - perhaps the best in school history - and the players have a lot to be proud of. It saw Princeton's first ever outright ECAC title, the most wins, most conference wins and best finish. The team also garnered a number of postseason honors - including ECAC Coach of the Year, Player of the Year, Student-Athlete of the Year and Team Sportsmanship award, as well as a Hobey Baker finalist and two All-American candidates.

Congrats to the players and their families, and thanks for spending the afternoon with me. A more comprehensive recap will appear on the Daily Princetonian website, www.dailyprincetonian.com a little later in the evening.
