Grad student Nick Tremblay (Candiac, QUE) recorded his second
career two-goal game and senior Paul Karpowich (Thunder Bay, ONT)
posted 27 saves as the Clarkson University Hockey team improved its
record against Atlantic Hockey foes to 6-0-1 on the year after
shutting out Holy Cross 5-0 at the Hart Recreation Center in
Worcester, MA on Sunday evening.
Clarkson, which opened a nine-game road trip with a 4-3 loss to
Maine in Portland, ME last night, stands at 8-5-3 overall. The
Golden Knights resume ECAC Hockey action in Central NY this coming
weekend, playing at Colgate and Cornell. Holy Cross, which defeated
Brown 2-0 on Saturday, falls to 5-7.
Clarkson scored goals early in the first and second periods and
then put the game away in the third with three goals in a span of
six minutes to equal its highest offensive outing of the
season.
Tremblay opened the scoring 3:19 into the first period, completing
a rush up ice with classmate Louke Oakley (Whitby, ONT) and
freshman defenseman Sam Labrecque (Granby, ONT) assisting. Just 63
seconds into the middle frame, Clarkson scored again. Junior
defenseman Andrew Himelson (Monroe, NY) recorded his first goal of
the season when he stopped a clearing pass in the Holy Cross zone
and flipped in a quick wrist shot from the point through traffic
for an unassisted score.
The Knights put the game away in the final stanza with a three-goal
outburst.
Tremblay netted his second of the game and team-high ninth of the
season at 6:54 when he scored on a breakaway shortly after Clarkson
had killed off a Crusader power play. At 11:49, senior Corey
Tamblyn (Bobcaygeon, ONT) converted a pass from sophomore linemate
Will Frederick (Allison Park, PA) to make it a 4-0 game.
Just 63 seconds later, freshman Patrick Marsh (Oakville, ONT)
picked up his first collegiate point when he knocked in his own
rebound to complete the scoring. Freshman defenseman James Howden
(Edgeley, SASK) and sophomore Jarrett Burton (Echo Bay, ONT) set up
the rookie’s first career goal.
Clarkson outshot Holy Cross 33-27. Karpowich posted his sixth
career shutout with 11 first-period saves, nine stops in the second
and seven more over the final 20 minutes. With Karpowich in the
Green and Gold crease, the Knights have posted four shutouts this
season, the most in a single season since Clarkson notched six
whitewashes during the 2007-08 campaign.
Both teams were 0-of-2 on the power play. Thomas Tysowsky finished
with 28 saves for Holy Cross.
