Golden Knights Post Whitewash at Brown
PROVIDENCE, RI - In its first game against Brown
University, the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team dominated
every aspect of the game except for one: the scoreboard. The Golden
Knights did in fact with the game by a single goal, but a glance at
the stat sheet would make it look otherwise. Saturday afternoon's
rematch between the two teams was a more even affair, but Clarkson
added a couple of extra goals for good measure, winning 3-0 in ECAC
Hockey action.
The third-ranked Golden Knights swept the conference weekend and
improved to 17-5-3 overall and 11-1-1 in league contests, while
Brown dropped to 2-14-4 and 0-11-3. Clarkson will play games at
home for the first time this semester when the team hosts Colgate
and Cornell next weekend.
It certainly appeared as if this game would be different from the
outset as sophomore Juana Baribeau (Amos, QUE) took the seal off
the scoreboard early on with a goal just 2 minutes, 40 seconds into
the game. Senior captain Britney Selina (Oakville, ONT) earned her
team-high 17th assist of the season on the score, and Tegan
Schroeder (Lumsden, SASK) gained her third assist of the
campaign.
Despite the goal, Brown held a 13-7 edge in shots in the first
period, surpassing its total of shots (9) from the first time the
two teams met. However, Clarkson would control that effort for the
remainder of the game, out shooting the Bears 31-15 in the final 40
minutes.
That advantage in shots didn't produce any goals until the third
period when the Knights tallied two insurance scores. Junior Daris
Tendler (Verwood, SASK) scored her fourth goal of the season,
unassisted, at 5:47 in the third period, and senior Dominique
Thibault
With 28 saves, junior (L'Orignal, ONT) scored her team-best 16th
goal of the year late in the frame, with Baribeau adding her 12th
assist of the season on the score at 16:15. Lauren Dahm
(Baldwinsville, NY) posted her sixth shutout of the season, four of
which have come in league play. Brown's Katie Jamieson made 35
stops in the loss.
