Minneapolis, MN - Through the first half of the
season, the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team has hosted a
steady stream of highly-ranked squads at Cheel Arena and sent all
of them back out with losses. On Friday night, the Golden Knights
had to travel all the way to the Central Time Zone to face the
second-ranked University of Minnesota and the Golden Gophers sent
third-ranked Clarkson to its third loss of the season in front of
1,033 fans at Ridder Arena.
The Golden Knights dropped to 12-3-1 overall with their second loss
in the last three games. Minnesota moved to 12-2-1 on the season.
The two teams will face one another again Saturday afternoon.
Clarkson dominated play early in the first period, but Minnesota
finished out strong with a 13-7 lead in shots after the first 20
minutes. The Golden Gophers continued to produce offensively in the
second period and finally broke the scoreless tie midway through
the middle frame. Terra Rasmussen scored at 11:53, her sixth goal
of the season, with an assist coming from Anne Schleper. Though the
Knights sent a few more shots on goal in the period, they were
unable to record the equalizer.
In the third period, Minnesota scored three insurance goals over a
five-minute span. At 5:43 Kelly Seeler scored for the Gophers to
start the barrage. Less than three minutes later Brittany Francis
picked up a goal on the power play for Minnesota, and just over two
minutes later Emily West lifted the Gophers to a 4-0 advantage.
Minnesota finished with a 39-20 edge in shots, the most shots by a
Clarkson opponent in 2009-10. Junior Lauren Dahm (Baldwinsville,
NY) made a season-high 35 saves for the Knights, while Noora Raty
made 20 stops for the Gophers.
