SKATE SHAVINGS
• Brown is coming off its first weekend sweep against St. Lawrence and Clarkson as Brown took both games in overtime against the No. 8 and No. 7 teams in the nation.
• Monique Lyons had a day against St. Lawrence, finishing with her first-career hat trick, including the game-winning goal in overtime. It is the second game-winner for Lyons in OT this season with both goals coming with less than 10 seconds remaining in the game.

SCOUTING THE TIGERS
• Princeton is 13-8 on the season and 7-7 in ECAC play. The Tigers are the only team in the ECAC to have not tied a game this year.
• The Tigers enter the weekend having dropped games at Cornell (1-6) and Colgate (0-4) last weekend. Princeton also lost to Yale 1-2 in overtime on Jan. 11.
• Scoring one goal or less in each of the last three games has been an uncommon sight this season as Princeton is second in the nation in goals per game (4.33)

YOUTH MOVEMENT

• The three top goal scorers for Brown are underclassmen with freshman Monique Lyons leading Brown with 12, followed by sophomores Ava DeCoste (9) and Margot Norehad (7).

EIGHT IS GREAT

THE THREE-POINTER
• Brown had two players collect three points against Sacred Heart (Monique Lyons - 2-1-3, Ava DeCoste - 1-2-3) marking the first game two Bears had three points since Oct. 19 against Franklin Pierce when three Bears had at least three points.
• Brown followed that up with three players tallying three points in the overtime win over St. Lawrence. Monique Lyons had three goals, while Ava DeCoste and Sam Broz each had three assists.
