A lengthy unbeaten streak came to an end for the Clarkson
University Hockey team on Saturday night as 11th-ranked Union
College handed the Golden Knights a 3-1 loss in ECAC Hockey action
before 2,678 fans at Cheel Arena.
Clarkson, which saw its streak end at seven games (6-0-1), goes to
6-2-2 overall and to 1-1 in the conference. The Knights take to the
road next weekend playing at league foes Quinnipiac and
Princeton.
Union, which won its third straight to improve to 5-1-3 overall and
to 2-0-0 in the league, controlled play in the first period
outshooting the Knights 13-3 en route to a 2-0 lead after the
opening 20 minutes.
Kyle Bodie started the scoring when he knocked in his own rebound
off a pad save by Clarkson junior Paul Karpowich (Thunder Bay, ONT)
at 6:28. Mark Bennett and Brian Yanovitch assisted. Less than three
minutes later, Bodie sent a pass up the left boards to Yanovitch,
who skated down the wing and beat Karpowich at thenear post at
8:55.

After a scoreless second stanza, the Dutchmen built their lead to
3-0 on a goal by Greg Coburn just 10 seconds into a power play at
6:23. Kelly Zajac and Wayne Simpson assisted.
The Knights, however, battled back in the period and ended up
outshooting Union 14-4 over the final 20 minutes. Senior Julien
Cayer (Longueuil, QUE) spoiled the visitors’ shutout bid when
he took a pass from freshman Joe Zarbo (Grand Island, NY) at the
top of the right circle, fought off a Union defender and slipped in
his fourth goal of the year at 12:24. Freshman defenseman Kevin
Tansey (Hammond, ONT) also assisted.
The Knights pulled Karpowich for the extra attacker with two
minutes remaining, but despite some excellent scoring
opportunities, could not get another shot past Union goaltender
Troy Grosenick.
Union outshot Clarkson 25-23. Karpowich posted 22 saves, including
11 first-period stops.
The Knights were 0-of-2 on the power play, while the Dutchmen were
1-of-6 with the man-advantage.
Union hosts Brown and Yale next weekend at Messa Rink in
Schenectady.
