Rensselaer (15-13-2, 9-9-2) split its two ECAC games this weekend, with a 1-0 loss to the Crimson and a 4-2 win over Brown.
Junior forward Jim Henkel scored two goals against the Bears, including one empty-net goal to secure the win. Freshman goalie Nathan Marsters had 37 saves on the night.
The Engineers go on the road this weekend against Cornell and Colgate.
Princeton (9-14-4, 8-9-3) slipped into eighth place this weekend, with a 2-1 win against Vermont on Saturday and a 1-1 tie against Dartmouth on Friday.
Against the Big Green, junior goaltender Dave Strathos shined with 34 saves.
The only Tiger goal was scored by Freshman defender Matthew Maglione.
The game against Vermont remained scoreless through the first period until the two teams scored a goal apiece to bring them into overtime. Maglione scored the game-winning goal, his fourth goal of the season, 2:54 into overtime to hand the Tigers the win.
Princeton is just one point behind RPI and Yale for sixth place, but also only one point ahead of Union, so its position in the standings is shaky. Princeton will travel this weekend to face Brown and Harvard.
