PRINCETON, N.J. -- The Dartmouth men's hockey team picked a great time to play its best league game. On Friday night the Big Green defeated Princeton University, 4-2 at Hobey Baker Rink.
Dartmouth improves to 6-8 (2-5 ECAC) while the Tigers - ranked eighth in the US College Hockey Online Poll - fall to 10-4-1 (6-2-1 ECAC).
The Big Green scored the eventual gamewinner when Scott Peach scored his second goal of the season on the power play at 7:33 of the second period. Peach fired a shot along the ice that beat goalie Dave Stathos. Jamie Herrington and Chris Baldwin picked up assists on the goal.
Dartmouth finally got on the board in the second period when Dave Risk scored on a wrap around at the 2:59 mark of the second period. Freshman Dan Casella picked up an assist on the goal, which seemed fitting since he hit the post twice on the same shift before the Risk tally.
Princeton and Dartmouth then traded power play goals in the second as Jeff Halpern closed the gap to 2-1 at 12:19. Frank Nardella scored the Big Green's second power play goal of the night, wristing hom a Baldwin feed. Herrington picked up his second assist of the night on the goal.
The teams traded goals in the third period. Curtis Wilgosh scored his team leading seventh goal of the season at the 18:03 mark, knocking home a Mike Maturo rebound. The Tigers narrowed the gap to two with 16 seconds to play when Chris Corrinet scored his fourth of the season on a rebound.
The teams played a scoreless first period in which the Big Green outshot the Tigers, 10-8. For the game, Almon stopped 31 shots while Stathos made 29 saves.
