Three different Golden Knights scored goals and sophomore Erica

Women’s Hockey team won its fourth straight game with a 3-1
victory at Niagara University on Saturday night.
Clarkson, which has won seven of its last eight games, improves its

With Saturday’s game tied 1-1 after 40 minutes, the Knights
gained the road win with a pair of power-play goals in the final

Junior Danielle Skirrow (Trenton, ONT) scored her eighth goal of
the season for the game-winner while on the man-advantage at 5:23

Sophomore Carly Mercer (Exeter, ONT) sealed the win with a
power-play marker at 11:11 with classmate Jamie Lee Rattray
(Kanata, ONT) setting up the goal.
Clarkson took a 1-0 first-period lead at 14:34 as Baribeau tallied
off assists from freshman defenseman Jennifer Shields (Ingersoll,
ONT) and Mercer for her seventh goal of the season and 53rd career
score.
The Purple Eagles (7-8-5) tied the game with a power-play marker
from Jessica Hitchcock at 15:21 of the middle stanza.
The Knights outshot Niagara 27-21. Clarkson was 2-of-4 on the power
play and killed off five of the Purple Eagles’ six
man-advantage chances.
