PRINCETON, NJ - The Colgate women's hockey team opened its ECAC season with a 4-1 loss at Princeton, Friday night.  Andrea Kilbourne's hat trick was the difference for Princeton.

The Tigers jumped out to the 1-0 lead at 6:32 of the first period when Heather Jackson found the net off passes from Lisa Rasmussen and Katherine Maglio.

Colgate bounced right back as Amanda Barre scored her third goal of the season with just 1:07 to play in the first period.  Becky Irvine and Micki King were credited with the assists.

Kilbourne then took over the game for Princeton scoring the final three goals.  She scored at 18:42 of the second period, then picked up two short-handed goals at 10:31 of the second period and 17:22 of the third period, setting the final at 4-1.

Princeton moves to 3-0 on the season and 1-0 in the ECAC.  Colgate drops to 3-4 and 0-1 in conference play.

The Tigers outshot Colgate 28-22.  Colgate went 1-3 on the power play and killed all three power play chances the Tigers had.
