PRINCETON, N.J. -- Union completed a season sweep of Princeton with a 3-0 victory in a conference matinee held at Hobey Baker Rink.  Goaltender Colin Stevens made 33 saves to record his third shutout of the season (and sixth of his career).  He has also shutout the Tigers twice this season.

It was not all good news for the Garnet and White.  Defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere was shaken up in the first period and did not return.

After a scoreless first period, Union broke through at 3:53 of the second period as Michael Pontarelli deflected Charlie Vastauro's shot from the blueline. Union dominated in shots during the period (23-5), due in part to back-to-back Princeton penalties -- including a major for checking from behind -- that gave the Dutchmen a two-man advantage for 1:35. Tiger netminder Colton Phinney kept the visitors off the board, however, making 22 saves in the period, including a stoppage of Daniel Ciampini on a breakway late in the period.

Max Novak gave Union some breathing room with his fourth marker of the season, scored at 7:48 of the third period.  Sebastien Gingras and Ciampini assisted on the play.  

Novak then setup Daniel Carr on an empty net goal at 19:31 to improve Union's overall record to 13-4-3, 9-2-0 in ECAC Hockey play.

Union stays on the road next week, traveling to New Hampshire (Jan. 17-18) for a non-conference series.
