Burlington, VT - Sophomore Genevieve Lavoie
(Delson, QUE) scored a goal and assisted on two others as the
Clarkson University Women's Hockey team won its third straight
game, and first following a 35-day layoff, over Vermont, 5-1, on

The Golden Knights, who are currently ranked 11th in the
country, improved to 13-4-2, while Vermont fell to 4-12-1. The

half minutes later, picking up her ninth goal of the season, with
assists going to Daris Tendler (Verwood, SASK) and Melissa Waldie
(Newmarket, ONT).
Vermont did all of the scoring in the second period with a
power-play goal midway through the frame, and the third period
belonged to the Knights as Clarkson scored three times. Ashleigh
Moorehead (Clinton, NY) scored her first career goal at 5:20 of the
third frame as Laura Hart (Wheaton, IL) and Katie Morrison
(Ridgefield, CT) gained assists. Exactly six minutes later, Lavoie
scored her seventh of the season with assists going to Gaudet and
Amanda Dittmer (Chatham, ONT). In the final minute, Clarkson closed
the scoring as Waldie tallied her team-high 12th goal of the
season. Lavoie and Selina assisted on Waldie's power-play goal at
19:22.
