PRINCETON, N.J. - Junior Christin Shanahan scored her fourth goal of the year with 2:42 left in overtime — tucking in a cross ice pass from freshman Kiersten Falck to complete a tic-tac-toe passing play started by senior Brianna Leahy — as Princeton defeated Rensselaer 2-1 in an ECAC Hockey contest.

The Engineers fall to 1-10-2 overall and 0-4-0 in the league. Princeton ran its unbeaten streak to seven games, with six wins and a tie, and ran its overtime streak to four straight games, as in all four of its games. Princeton is now 6-1-1 overall and 4-0-0 in ECAC Hockey.

Princeton outshot the Engineers 10-2 in the first period but thanks to some nice goaltending by RPI starting goalie Kelly O'Brien (1-5-0), who finished with 27 saves, the game went into the first intermission with no score.

Tigers sophomore Morgan Sly broke the scoreless tie with 8:09 to play in the second period — completing a beautiful passing play that started when freshman defenseman Emily Achterkirch found Audrey Potts and the sophomore put a pass on the tape of Sly's stick. The assist was the first point of Achterkirch's career in her their collegiate game while the sophomore Potts now has a goal and an assist on the year.

After being outshot 15-10 over the first two periods the Engineers came out strong in the third period and got the equalizer with 13:21 to play. Princeton goalie Kimberly Newell made the initial stop on a shot by RPI's Ali Svoboda but sophomore Laura Horwood was there to pounce on the rebound, scoring her third goal of the year. Svoboda and Shayna Tomlinson had the assists.

Newell, who finished with 20 saves to raise her record to 5-1-1, came up big for Princeton in the closing minutes — particularly after Princeton took a penalty with 1:17 to play. The power play carried into overtime but the Tigers were able to kill off the penalty — setting the stage for Shanahan's heroics.
