PROVIDENCE (2/2/13) - The Princeton men's hockey dropped a
5-1 game to Brown on Saturday, Feb. 2 at Meehan Auditorium.
Brown outshot Princeton 50-23 in the game and was able to
score three goals in a 1:01 span to take the lead over the Tigers.
"We have to get ready for the next game and play how we can
play, regardless if it's home or on the road," head coach Bob Prier said after
the game regading his team's struggles on the road this year. "When we are
clicking we are a good team. We still have to play hard regardless of where
we're playing. It's the same group of guys, it's the same exact team. It
shouldn't matter where we are playing."
Brown quickly got on the scoreboard at 1:43 of the first
period with a goal by Matt Harlow. Senior Eric Meland tied the game with an
unassisted goal, his first goal of the season, at 15:18 to end the first in a 1-1 tie.
A 1:01 span in the second period would give the Bears a lead
they wouldn't relinquish.
The Bears took the lead at 12:11 when they took advantage of
their third power-play opportunity of the game. Jack Goldberg scored his first
goal of the season when he fired a shot from the left point on a pass from
Massimo Lamacchio from the right point.
Thirteen seconds later Marc Senecal expanded the lead to
3-1. Mark Hourihan had back-to-back chances on the left doorstep but his second
shot rebounded onto the paint and Senecal was positioned on the right side to
pop it into the open net at 12:23.
Senior Mike Condon replaced junior Sean Bonar in net, but
the Tigers woes continued as Garnet Hathaway scored 49 seconds later at 13:12.
Hathaway buried a shot from the left dot on a dish from Nick Lappin from the
right boards where Condon was anticipating a shot.
Hathway scored his second of the game, a quick goal in
transition and as he and teammate Matt Lorito crashed the cage for the goal at
11:57 of the third.
Princeton was 0 for 4 on the power play and 4 for 5 on the
penalty kill.

points with a 8-9-5 overall record and 4-6-5 mark in the league
