There are close series and then there’s Princeton-Colgate 2004-05. Two ties, including the rare scoreless deadlock last December at Baker Rink. Both teams have been playing solid hockey as of late. Colgate has won six of its last seven games including its first four conference tilts, and Princeton is coming off a respectable 2-1-1 run through No. 8 Clarkson, No. 1 St. Lawrence, and No. 6 Mercyhurst. In an ECACHL that has been every bit as close as advertised thus far, a sweep for either squad this weekend could come in handy in conference comparisons down the stretch. <\/p>\n
