Junior defenseman Hailey Wood (Lethbridge, ALB) scored on the
power play with 66 seconds remaining in overtime to lift the
Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team past Brown University
4-3 in ECAC Hockey action at Cheel Arena on Friday night.
Wood tallied her first career game-winner, and third goal of the
season, lofting in a high shot from the top of the right circle to
lift the Golden Knights to their third consecutive win and first
overtime triumph of the season. Sophomore Carly Mercer (Exeter,
ONT) and senior Juana Baribeau (Amos, QUE) earned the assists on
the deciding power-play marker in the extra session.
Clarkson, which is 5-1-1 in conference play during the New Year,
improves its record to 17-7-5 overall and to 11-4-2 in ECAC Hockey.
With five games remaining in the regular season, the Green and Gold
stand alone in third place in the league standings, one point
behind Harvard in second. The Knights host Yale on Saturday
afternoon at 4:00 p.m. in their final regular-season home game.
After dominating a scoreless first period with a 13-2 shot
advantage, the Knights got on the scoreboard early in the second
frame with a pair of goals 64 seconds apart. Mercer opened the
scoring with an unassisted goal at 5:24, stuffing in a shot at the
side of the net for her 13th tally of the season.
At 6:28, sophomore Shelby Nisbet (Wiseton, SASK) took a pass from
freshman Christine Lambert (Thetford Mines, QUE) at the top of the
crease and slipped in her fourth goal of the season. Senior
Danielle Boudreau (Whitby, ONT) also assisted.
Brown came back with a goal by Jennifer Nedow on a shot from the
blueline that found its way through traffic into the back of the
Clarkson net at 10:07 to get on the scoreboard. Jacquie Pierri and
Alena Polenska set up the score.
The Knights answered with a power-play marker from senior Gabrielle
Kosziwka (Limehouse, ONT) at 12:45. Kosziwka knocked in her sixth
goal of the season on shot from in front after passes from senior
defensemen Boudreau and Katelyn Ptolemy (Dinsmore, SASK) to make it
3-1.
Less than three minutes later, the Bears cut the gap to one goal
with a power-play tally by Samantha Woodward at 15:06 on a shot
from the point. Katelyn Landry assisted.
Brown (7-10-7, 4-8-4), looking to secure a top eight position in
the standings, fought back in the third to tie the game 3-3,
scoring late in a man-advantage on Sarah Robson’s power-play
marker at 16:20.
Clarkson dominated the overtime action with a 6-0 advantage in
shots capped off by Woods game-winner.
For the game, the Knights outshot Brown 37-19. Sophomore Erica Howe
(Ottawa, ONT0 made 16 saves, while Katie Jamieson posted 33 stops
for the Bears. Both teams were 2-of-3 on the power play.
