Princeton's Dave Schneider battled the puck off the boards and took a hard slapshot from the top of the left circle to cushion the lead at 2-0. "Princeton was a little bit opportunistic," Jonas said. "There was a deflection in there and a nice backdoor pass. Those things can happen, and that they did--two in one game--was out of the norm." The turning point came in the final seconds...
