PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence College women's ice hockey team is ranked ninth in the nation according to the USA Today/American Hockey Magazine Women's College Hockey Poll on Monday, December 11 and the U.S. College Hockey Online Poll released on Tuesday, December 12.

The Providence Friars posted a 1-0-1 record this weekend. On Saturday, December 9, the Friars tied Princeton, 1-1. PC's Jessica Tabb (Holland, Mass.) scored the game's first goal at 7:30 of the third period before Princeton tied the game less than two minutes later. Providence freshman netminder Amy Quinlan (Baton Rouge, La.) stopped 20 shots as PC's seven-game winning streak was snapped.

On Sunday, December 10, Quinlan notched her third career shutout as PC defeated Yale, 2-0. Friar freshman forward Darlene Stephenson (Virden, Manitoba) notched the game winner and fellow freshman Gayle Shalloo (Scottsdale, Ariz.) added an insurance goal on a power-play. Quinlan turned away 17 Bulldog shots as PC extended its unbeaten streak to nine games.

This is Providence's longest unbeaten streak since the black and white posted an eight-game unbeaten streak during the 1999-00 season.

Providence returns to action on Wednesday, January 7 when the Friars take on Wisconsin in the first round of the Lake Placid Tournament at Lake Placid, N.Y.
