Period 2 - Notes

The second period was perfect for the Tigers in every way, except for on the scoreboard. They dominated the Sioux on offense and on defense but were unable to beat Lamoureux.

In short, Princeton needs to come out in the third period and do exactly what it did in the second. It got possession in the attacking third and got bodies in front of the net, and the defensemen have gotten involved up front. The Tigers have also grown more creative as the game has progressed, which will prove vital if they plan on beating Lamoureux.

The UND power play has been its saving grace so far this afternoon - though the second goal was technically not a power-play goal, it was scored a second after Moore left the box - and looking ahead, the Tigers will need to stay out of the box.

Princeton is currently on its first power play of the game, and this is an excellent chance to claw back into the game. Look for the Tigers to keep pressing, and if they can keep up this sustained pressure, they find the net in the third.
