With a return to the North Country the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team will look to get back on the winning track after concluding a very difficult six-game road trip. Back in Potsdam for the first time since October 31, the Golden Knights resume ECAC Hockey play with their final games of 2009 by hosting Quinnipiac on Friday at 3:30 p.m. and Princeton on Saturday at 2 p.m. Guided by second-year co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers, the Green and Gold are undefeated at home this season with an 8-0-1 mark on the Cheel Arena ice.

Playing arguably the toughest schedule in college hockey, the Golden Knights, led by senior captain Britney Selina (Thornhill, ONT) and senior assistant captain Carlee Eusepi (Oakville, ONT), own a 12-4-1 overall record and post the best winning percentage in ECAC Hockey at .857 with a 6-1 league mark. Ranked fourth/fifth in the latest USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine national polls, Clarkson has played 10 games against nationally-ranked teams this season going 6-3-1.

The Knights faced their stiffest test yet this season last weekend out west. Clarkson played a two-game series against national powerhouse Minnesota and suffered back-to-back shutouts to the number-two ranked Gophers, falling 4-0 and 2-0 in Minneapolis.
