With a pair of road victories over two of the elite programs in ECAC Hockey, the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team began a lengthy foray away from Potsdam in impressive fashion. Guided by second-year co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers, the Golden Knights extended the nation’s best winning streak to seven games by defeating Harvard, 2-1, and Dartmouth, 3-1, this past weekend in New England.

Ranked second in the nation by both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Division I polls, Clarkson is off to the best start in the history of the seven-year program with an 11-1-1 overall record. The Green and Gold, led by senior captain Britney Selina (Thornhill, ONT) and senior assistant captain Carlee Eusepi (Oakville, ONT), stand atop the ECAC Hockey standings with a 5-0-0 league mark.

Clarkson continues its current six-game road trip by playing at Central New York rivals Cornell and Colgate this weekend. The Knights take on the Big Red at Lynah Rink in Ithaca at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, and then battle Colgate on Saturday in a 4:00 p.m. contest at Starr Rink in Hamilton. Clarkson takes a break from league play the following weekend with a key national series at the University of Minnesota on November 27-28.
