Princeton has a star goalie and USA U-18 member coming in to keep them near the top of the class among their 2023-2024 women's hockey recruits.
Princeton has been among the top programs in NCAA women's hockey in recent years, and their incoming 2023-2024 has star power, particularly from the net out. The snagged a netminder bringing a historic high school performance, and a USA U-18 national team blueliner to headline the class.
While the 2023 class is strong, the 2024-2025 recruiting class is a juggernaut group for Princeton. The school's women's hockey program is in good hands with the incoming players.
Here's a look at who the Princeton Tigers will welcome next season.
Uma Corniea, G, 2004 - Considered the best goaltender to come out of Minnesota high school hockey in many years, if not ever, expectations are high for Corniea. The five-foot-ten netminder was named the Minnesota high school goaltender of the year, and graduates as not only the winningest goalie and career leader in shutouts in league history, but she's also a four-time all-state honoree. This season, Corneia posted a 0.92 GAA and .958 save percentage. Her results are unquestionable, and seeing how that will transfer to the NCAA will be a story to watch.
Gabrielle Kim, D, 2005 - Coming out of four years at Shattuck St. Mary's, Kim is used to a college-like program. She showed growth and development each year, and even her growth throughout the U-18 World Championship from the first game to the finals was monumental. It speaks to Kim's on ice intelligence and coachability. Not a big shooter, she's mobile and moves the puck well, distributing from her own zone and the offensive blueline.
Maggie Johnson, F, 2004 - Johnson comes to the program after captaining the Loomis Chaffee and Mid Fairfield CT Stars. She can change directions on a dime and likes to drive into secondary scoring positions finding open ice. When Johnson gets there, she can pick corners with an accurate shot.
Also committing to Princeton's women's hockey program for the 2023-2024 season are Callista Chong who played for the Chicago Mission, and Wallis York from the Etobicoke Dolphins.
The 2024-2025 incoming class is extremely strong with sisters and Bishop Kearney teammates Angelina DiGirolamo and U-18 national team member Lucia DiGirolamo. Canadian U-18 team member Mackenzie Alexander is also headed to Princeton, as are standouts Rosie Klein and Hannah Fetterolf.
