TROY, N.Y. – Senior Corey Tamblyn netted a pair of goals to lead the
Clarkson University men’s hockey team to a 4-1 victory over Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute (RPI), this evening, in the ECAC Hockey opener
for both schools, at Cheel Arena. With the win, the Golden Knights
improve to 6-1-2 overall (1-0-0 ECACH), while the Engineers drop to
1-7-0 (0-1-0 ECACH).

Rensselaer freshman Ryan Haggerty (Stamford, CT/U.S. National Dev.
Team) got the visitors on the scoreboard first, netting his first
collegiate goal – a power-play tally at 18:06 of the first period.
Haggerty tipped a shot by senior captain Mike Bergin (Ottawa,
ON/Smiths Falls Bears) past Clarkson senior netminder Paul Karpowich
(Thunder Bay, ON/Wellington Dukes) for the goal. Junior Nick Bailen
(Fredonia, NY/Indiana Ice) earned the second assist.

The Golden Knights tied it up with just nine seconds left in the
opening frame, on Tamblyn’s (Bobcaygeon, ON/Markham Waxers) first goal
of the contest. Picking up a loose puck in front of the RPI cage, he
whipped a shot past Engineers’ junior goalie Bryce Merriam (Bethel
Park, PA/Topeka RoadRunners) from close range. Helpers went to
sophomore Alex Boak (Norwood, NY/Brockville Braves) and senior Jake
Morley (Odgensburg, NY/Northwood).

Senior Louke Oakley (Whitby, ON/St. Michael’s Buzzers) then notched
the eventual game-winning tally at 8:43 of the second – the only goal
scored in the stanza. Oakley’s team-leading sixth of the year was
assisted by sophomore Matt Zarbo (Grand Island, NY/Sioux Falls
Stampede) and senior Julien Cayer (Longueuil, PQ/Northwood).

Tambyn then added an insurance goal at 14:05 of the third on the
power-play. A shot from the right point by Oakley was redirected
through the legs of Merriam by Tamblyn, for his second of the game and
fourth of the season. Clarkson senior Nick Tremblay (Candiac,
PQ/Smiths Falls Bears) tacked on an empty netter at 17:02 to cap the
scoring.

Karpowich (6-1-2) earned the victory, making 20 saves, while Merriam
finished with 28 stops at the other end of the ice. The Engineers went
1 for 3 on the man-advantage, while Clarkson ended up 1 for 6.

The Engineers are back in action tomorrow night, when they travel to
Canton, N.Y., to face St. Lawrence (7pm). The Golden Knights host #13
Union tomorrow night (7pm).
