\n<\/div>\nThe Big Green women came to No. 8 Princeton’s Hobey Baker Rink, where the Tigers upset them last season, and ensured that no such thing would happen this time around. Dartmouth (2-0, 1-0 ECACHL) shut out the Tigers (1-1-1, 0-1 ECACHL) 3-0 behind two goals from junior Katie Weatherston and 18 saves from sophomore goaltender Christine Capuano.<\/p>\n
“It was a great win to get here,” said Dartmouth coach Mark Hudak. “Princeton is a very good team. They’ve got three very solid lines, and I think we match up well with them. I’m really happy with the way the kids came out tonight.”<\/p>\n
“I thought our kids competed really hard,” said Princeton coach Jeff Kampersal. “I thought that we weren’t used to the speed. Last week, we played a tough Providence team, but Dartmouth is a lot quicker. Those guys can just flat-out fly.”<\/p>\n
Dartmouth took an early 1-0 lead courtesy of junior Cherie Piper, as the Olympian scored her second goal of the season on an off-angle shot that flew across Princeton keeper Roxanne Gaudiel into the corner for the eventual game-winner.<\/p>\n
Princeton looked to equalize late in the period, as a penalty to Krista Dornfried gave the Tigers their third power play opportunity of the game, but the Big Green penalty kill created a breakaway opportunity for Weatherston. The Thunder Bay, Ont., native didn’t waste the chance, faking Gaudiel out and launching a backhand shot that found the top left corner of the net for a shorthanded tally.<\/p>\n
Weatherston’s backhand found the mark again in the second period. This time, Dartmouth’s leading active scorer lit the lamp on the powerplay.<\/p>\n
“I just thought that [Gaudiel] was giving me that side,” Weatherston said. “I went there twice, and it worked out.”<\/p>\n
“She’s a magician with the puck,” Kampersal said of Weatherston. “That’s a couple of bad plays by us right there.”<\/p>\n
The Tigers had several opportunities during the third period while holding Dartmouth to a single shot on goal, but the Big Green managed to bear down and preserve the win, led by Capuano, who made six third-period saves to complete the shutout.<\/p>\n
“I was really excited about it,” Capuano said of her season debut. “I was a little shaky in the beginning, not having played last week, but I was pumped to play and ready to play.”<\/p>\n
Dartmouth will travel to Yale tomorrow for a matchup with the Bulldogs, while the Tigers will welcome Vermont to Baker Rink. Both games start at 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
