ALBANY, N.Y. -- Coaches look for clutch play this time of the year and they witnessed it Friday night.  In ECAC Hockey action last night fans were treated to a shutout, a hat trick, comebacks, and a thrilling overtime win. 

No. 11 Clarkson 4 at Brown 3 (ot):  Senior David Cayer scored with 47.7 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the Golden Knights to a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory over Brown.  With losses by Princeton and Quinnipiac Friday, the Golden Knights extended their league-lead in ECAC Hockey to four points with a 12-3-2 conference mark.  Clarkson outshot Brown 34-29.  Senior netminder David Leggio finished with 26 stops for the Golden Knights, while Dan Rosen stopped 30 in the loss.  Forward Aaron Volpatti netted two goals in defeat for the Bears.

At Harvard 3, No. 17 Princeton 2:  Sophomore Doug Rogers recorded his first career hat trick to help the Crimson down the Tigers.  Sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter made 33 saves as the Crimson also gained valuable points in the ECAC Hockey standings by defeating the second-place Tigers.  Defenseman senior Mike Moore had a goal and an assist for the Tigers, and netminder Zane Kalemba made 18 saves.  The Tigers outshot the Cimson 35-21 in the contest, but Harvard bettered the Tigers converting on two of seven power-plays to the Tigers' one of eight chances.

At Colgate 4, Rensselaer 0:  The Raiders earned a shutout win over Rensselaer at Starr Rink.  It was the second straight shutout for the Raiders over the Engineers.  The win moved Colgate head coach Don Vaughan into a tie for the school record for coaching victories with legendary bench boss Terry Slater, who coached Colgate from 1977 to 1992.  The win was Vaughan's 251st, and he needs one more to pass Slater and become the winningest coach in Colgate hockey history.  Senior goaltender Mark Dekanich had to make just nine saves to earn his second consecutive shutout, and his fifth of the season, which ties the school record.

Union 3 at Cornell 2:  In a physical contest the Dutchmen rallied from a two-goal deficit to defeat Cornell at Lynah Rink.  Matt Cook scored a career-high two goals in the game and freshman Andrew Buote picked up the game-winner for the Dutchmen, who captured the season series with the Big Red for the first time since the 1997-98 season.  Cook becomes the first Union player to net a multiple-goal game this season.  Buote's game-winner marked the second on the season for the rookie.  Josh Coyle and Jason Walters each recorded two assists in the game.

At Yale 4, St. Lawrence 3:  Yale erased an early 2-0 deficit and scored four of the last five goals to earn a win over St. Lawrence before 3,344 at Ingalls Rink.  Forwards Blair Yaworski had two goals and Broc Little had a goal and two assists to lead the Bulldogs, who outshot the Saints 30-26 in a game that included short-handed goals by both sides.  The Bulldogs went two of two with a man advantage.  Forward Brock McBride netted a goal and added an assist for the Saints. 

At Dartmouth 7, No. 16 Quinnipiac 2:  After spotting the Bobcats a 2-0 lead, the Big Green erupted for seven goals to earn a much needed league win.  Dartmouth outshot the Bobcats, 43-to-23 for its fourth 40-plus shot game of the season.  The victory ends Dartmouth's six-game winless streak, the longest of the season.  Netminder Mike Devine finished with 21 saves for the Big Green, while Bud Fisher and Pat McGann combined for 36 stops for Quinnipiac.  Forward Scott Fleming netted two goals for the Big Green.
