Clarkson Triumphs at Brown
Three different Golden Knights scored goals, all set up by
sophomore Ben Sexton (Kanata, ONT), and senior Paul Karpowich
(Thunder Bay, ONT) posted 40 saves, including a penalty-shot stop,
as the Clarkson University Hockey team skated to its second
straight ECAC Hockey win on the road with a 3-1 victory over Brown
University at Meehan Auditorium in Providence, RI on Friday
night.

Clarkson, which is 5-1-2 in its last eight league games, improves
its record to 13-11-5 overall and moves into a tie for fourth place
in the ECAC Hockey standings with a 7-5-3 league mark. The Knights
close out a four-game road trip by playing Yale in a 7:00 p.m. game
on Saturday at Ingalls Rink in New Haven, CT. The Bulldogs fell 4-3
in overtime to St. Lawrence on Friday.
Clarkson took control early against Brown, jumping out to a 2-0
first-period lead. For the second consecutive game, sophomore
defenseman Alex Boak (Norwood, NY) started the scoring when he
tallied just 2:19 into the contest. Boak, with his second goal of
the season, finished off assists from classmates Allan McPherson
(Kinburn, ONT) and Sexton with a wrist shot under the crossbar.

The Knights struck again early in the middle frame as grad student
Nick Tremblay (Candiac, QUE) extended his scoring streak with a
power-play marker at 5:12. After taking a cross-crease pass from
Sexton at the side of the net, Tremblay poked in his team-high 14th
goal of the season to make it a 3-0 lead. Tremblay has scored a
goal in each of the last four games and has tallied at least one
point in each of the past seven games for 11 points (5-6) over that
span. Senior Louke Oakley (Whitby, ONT) also assisted to extend his
point-scoring streak to five games (3-6).

Brown (8-11-3, 5-8-2), which outshot Clarkson 41-20, picked up its
play as the period continued and finally got on the scoreboard with
a power-play tally from Jack Maclellan at 13:56 of the second.
The Bears continued to pressure in the third with 15 shots on goal,
including a penalty shot attempt. At 7:10 of the period, Clarkson
was called for a hooking penalty during a man-advantage situation.
On the ensuing penalty shot, Brown’s Bobby Farnham’s
scoring chance was turned aside by Karpowich, who stopped the shot
with a pad save.
