Defending national champion UNH (20-5-5, 19-4-3) won the tiebreaker over Brown for the No. 2 seed and hosts No. 7 seed Princeton (15-13-1, 14-11-1) Sunday. The Wildcats have won four straight, including a 6-1 trouncing of the Tigers, but proved themselves vulnerable to an upset by losing at Dartmouth...

But Princeton has a Kazmaier nominee of its own in forward Ali Coughlin, who teamed up with linemate Andrea Kilbourne and defenseman Annamarie Holmes for four goals before losing to Harvard in overtime last Saturday...

This game should be painfully low scoring as both Ivy squads rely on physical defensemen--Brown's Tara Mounsey and Dartmouth's Correne Bredin--to keep the score within reach for their not-so-intimidating offensive teammates.
