First Period Recap

Princeton - 1
UMD - 1

UMD picked up the first goal of the game off a rebound following a wraparound attempt at 8:17. Kalemba was unable to control Travis Oleksuk's shot and Andrew Carroll banged it home to give the Bulldogs the early lead.

Princeton answered back with its first goal also coming off a rebound during a power play at 14:56. Sophomore defenseman Matt Godlewski's shot bounced off Stalock and trickled into the crease, where Wilson slid it into the UMD net to tie the game.

Though UMD is currently outshooting the Tigers 13-9, the teams appear evenly matched in the early going, and the intesnity picked up as the period progressed. Both squads — Princeton in particular — need to create more opportunities from the time they spend in the offensive zone if they want to take control of the game.
