A home-and-home series against archrival St. Lawrence University closes out the 2009 portion of the schedule for the Clarkson University Men’s Hockey team this weekend. The Golden Knights, guided by seventh-year head coach George Roll, associate coach Greg Drechsel and assistant coach Jean-Francois Houle, wrap up a four-game road trip at Appleton Arena in Canton on Friday with a 7:30 p.m. game against the Saints. The North Country rivals square off again on Saturday with a 7:00 p.m. contest at Cheel Arena.

Clarkson owns a 4-9-1 overall record and entered the week in 10th place in ECAC Hockey with a 1-4-1 league mark. The Knights, led by junior captain Scott Freeman (Whitby, ONT) and assistant captains senior Matt Beca (Mississauga, ONT) and junior Brandon DeFazio (Oakville, NY) are 3-2 at home in Potsdam and 1-7-1 in road games this season.

In their lone action this past week, the Green and Gold saw a lengthy winning streak over traditional national power Boston College come to and end as the Eagles held off the Knights to gain a one-goal victory in Chestnut Hill, MA. Despite a late rally and two goals from sophomore defenseman Mark Borowiecki (Kanata, ONT), Clarkson could not continue its winning ways against Boston College as the Eagles skated to a 6-5 triumph in non-league action on Friday to halt a 10-game losing skid to the Knights.
