Coming off its first weekend sweep in ECAC Hockey play this season, the Clarkson University Hockey team will look to build upon its newly found momentum when it takes to the road for the final time during the regular season. Guided by seventh-year head coach George Roll, associate coach Greg Drechsel and assistant coach Chris Rogles ’93, the Golden Knights play at Brown in Providence, RI on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and then battle league-leader, fifth-ranked Yale on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. in New Haven, CT.

Clarkson owns a 7-20-3 overall record and is in 12th-place in the ECAC Hockey standings with a 3-13-2 league mark. With four games remaining in the conference campaign, the Green and Gold can finish anywhere from 9th to 12th in the standings, and will play on the road in the postseason.

After a disappointing four-game road trip, Clarkson made a highly successful home stand at Cheel Arena over the weekend with two big wins, defeating Princeton, 4-3, and Quinnipiac, 4-1. The Knights put together two productive offensive outings and received strong goaltending from sophomore Paul Karpowich (Thunder Bay, ONT) to put an end to a lengthy nine-game (0-8-1) winless stretch.
