Riding its longest unbeaten streak of the season, the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team is hitting stride as it nears the midway point of the 2008-09 campaign. Guided by first-year co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers, the Golden Knights are coming off their first weekend sweep of the season on the road and begin a lengthy home stand at Cheel Arena with a significant milestone about to be achieved. In its sixth year as an NCAA Program, Clarkson is one win shy of reaching the century mark for all-time victories with a 99-72-21 all-time record.

The Knights, who are 3-0-1 at home this year, play their next eight games at Cheel Arena beginning with this weekend’s non-league series against the University of Vermont. Saturday's game begins at 2:00 p.m. and Sunday's contest is a 1:00 p.m. start.

Led by senior captain Kimberly McKenney (Smiths Falls, ONT), the Knights stand at 6-5-3 overall and are tied for fourth place in the ECAC Hockey standings with a 4-1-1 league mark. The Green and Gold are 3-0-1 since mid-November, including wins over Quinnipiac and Princeton on the road this past weekend.
