Waldie's Third-Period Goal Nets Knights Win
Potsdam, NY - Sophomore Eve Grandmont-Berube
(Drummondville, QUE) made 21 saves, including 18 over the final two
periods, to help preserve a 2-1 victory over Brown for the Clarkson
University Women's Hockey team Saturday afternoon at Cheel
Arena.
The Golden Knights improved to 12-6-4 overall and 6-2-2 in ECAC
Hockey, while Brown moved to 3-14-1 and 2-9-0 in the conference
slate. Clarkson plays a midweek game on Wednesday when it travels
to Canton, NY to take on fifth-ranked St. Lawrence.
After a scoreless first period in which the two teams combined for
just 11 shots, Brown was able to get on the scoreboard first when
the puck trickled over the goal line. Jenna Dancewitz was credited
with the score as she pushed the puck across at 8:46, recording the
power play goal with assists going to Maggie Suprey and Paige
Pyett.
Clarkson responded with a power play goal of its own nine minutes
later when freshman Juana Baribeau's (Amos, QUE) shot fluttered
over the shoulder of Brown goaltender Nicole Stock. One minute and
12 seconds into the power play, at 17:24 in the second, Baribeau
scored when her shot from the top of the left circle jumped over
the glove side of Stock, with assists going to Marie-Jo Gaudet
(Sherbrooke, QUE) and Carlee Eusepi (Oakville, ONT). It was
Baribeau's 15th goal of the season
The winning goal came less than two minutes into the third period
with both teams skating evenly. Just five seconds after a Knights'
power-play elapsed, Genevieve Lavoie (Delson, QUE) took the puck
and shuttled it out to Kimberley McKenney (Smiths Falls, ONT).
McKenney dropped the puck off to Melissa Waldie (Newmarket, ONT) in
the right circle and the sophomore neatly placed the puck top shelf
for 2-1 Clarkson lead. The goal was Waldie's ninth of the
campaign.
Grandmont-Berube finished with 21 saves in the contest while Stock
had 32 stops for Brown. The Bears were 1-for-2 on the power play
and the Knights went 1-for-5 while attacking with an extra skater.
Clarkson had a 34-22 shot advantage.
