Second Period Recap

Princeton - 3
UMD - 2

Princeton played terrific hockey throughout most of the second period, adding goals from freshman defenseman Derrick Pallis and Wilson — on his second of the night — to take 3-1 lead. UMD answered back less than half a minute after Wilson's goal to close the gap to 3-2.

The Tigers came out strong in the second period and kept the pressure on Stalock and the Bulldog defense for almost all 20 minutes. Even after taking the lead, Princeton did not let up, even mounting a furious attack in the period's final minutes that almost resulted in a goal.

The game has been a remarkably clean one thus far, with just one penalty — a holding call on sophomore defenseman Taylor Fedun — in the second period and three for the game. Look for the physiciality and chippiness to pick up a bit as UMD looks to close the gap in the third period. If Princeton can avoid letting down like it did against Cornell a week agao tonight, the Tigers will be in good position to move on and face Miami (OH) tomorrow night.
