First Overtime Recap, Game tied 3-3

What regulation play lacked in excitement, the first overtime made up for in a flurry. Back and forth hockey was the norm, as both teams peppered the opposing nets with shots, forcing Kalemba and Scrivens to come up with save after save. 
Princeton's best chance came on a two-on-one break, but Princeton's shot was not high enough, and was blocked by Scrivens' outstretched pad. Cornell had multiple opportunities from close to the net, but Kalemba stood tall, making saves with every piece of his equipment to keep the Tigers in the game. Though Princeton came out a little sluggish in the first few minutes of overtime, the team quickly recovered to play some of its best offensive hockey of the game.
At this point, the game will come down to which team has more gas left in the tank.
First OT Stats:
Shots: Princeton 10, Cornell 10
No penalties
