Annie Kuehl, Sharon Frankel and Carly Bullock each scored a goal and added an assist, and Stephanie Neatby made 16 saves to lead the fifth-ranked Princeton University women's hockey team to a 4-0 win over St. Lawrence University in an ECAC Hockey contest on Friday night at Appleton Arena.

The Saints fell to 11-13-6, 6-9-4 in ECAC Hockey, and remain in eighth place in the conference standings with the loss, three points ahead of ninth-place Union and three points behind Colgate, which sits in seventh.

"Princeton took control early and got one on us," said St. Lawrence head coach Chris Wells '92. "I was real happy with our resolve and effort to try and get one back. We had a few 2-on-1 rushes and hit the post to make it a game, but Neatby was there on our good chances and Princeton cashed in when they had theirs. We will be back at it tomorrow."



Kuehl gave Princeton the lead just two minutes and 36 seconds into the game, redirecting Maggie Connor's feed from behind the net inside the left post. Frankel also assisted on the play.

Frankel increased the lead to 2-0 halfway through the second period, sending a backhand from the bottom of the left circle past St. Lawrence goaltender Lucy Morgan. Kuehl and Connors assisted on the play.

St. Lawrence had chances to score, as Kristen Guerriero rang a shot off the post just a few minutes later and a number of Saints contributed to a a flurry of chances halfway through the third period.

But Sarah Fillier extended Princeton's lead to 3-0 with less than six minutes to play. Morgan got most of the wrist shot from the slot, but the puck just trickled over the line. Bullock started the play with a pass from the right side.

Bullock put the game away with an empty-net goal two minutes later.

Morgan made 33 saves as the Saints were outshot 37-16, including a 27-8 margin in the first two periods. Both teams were 0-for-3 on the power play.

Princeton improved to 20-4-1, 15-3-1 with its sixth straight win.

The Saints will celebrate the women's hockey Class of 2020 on Saturday, following the team's game with Quinnipiac. Opening faceoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.
