Senior Paul Karpowich (Thunder Bay, ONT) return to the net for
the Clarkson University Hockey team after a two-game absence and
made 32 saves and earned the game’s Third Star, but the
Golden Knights came up just short in the U.S. College Hockey
Classic on Saturday night, falling 3-1 to 19th-ranked University of
North Dakota at the MTS Centre in downtown Winnipeg, MB.
Playing one of its best periods of the season, the Knights came out
with a strong effort through the opening 20 minutes and grabbed the
initial lead early in the contest. Senior Julien Cayer (Longueuil,
QUE) scored his fifth goal of the season knocking in a loose puck
at the top of the crease at 4:11. Senior Corey Tamblyn (Bobcaygeon,
ONT) started the play with a pass into the slot. Senior Nick
Tremblay (Candiac, QUE) also assisted.
UND (11-8-2) took control on the scoreboard in the middle frame,
scoring twice in just over a three-minute span. Moments after a
Clarkson power play ended, North Dakota tied the game when Carter
Rowney knocked in his own rebound at the near right post at 9:14.
Rowney connected again at 12:32 when he batted in a rebound at the
top of the crease for a power-play tally, giving UND a 2-1 lead
through 40 minutes.
With 58 seconds remaining in regulation, UND iced their seventh
victory over the past nine games with Mark MacMillian’s
goal.
UND outshot Clarkson 35-22, including a 12-5 advantage over the
final 20 minutes. The Knights struggled on the power play going
0-of-5, while UND was 1-of-4 with the man-advantage. Aaron Dell
posted 21 saves for North Dakota.
Clarkson, which stands at 9-9-4 overall, returns to Cheel Arena
next weekend after a nine-game road, hosting ECAC Hockey foes Yale
and Brown for its first home games in almost two months.
