The following article appeared October 14 on the Clarkson Web site.

 

Making its first road trip of the season, the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team will look to continue its early season roll that has propelled the Golden Knights to near the top of the national polls. The Green and Gold, guided by co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers, will take their undefeated record and lofty rankings to Burlington, VT this weekend as they battle the University of Vermont in Gutterson Fieldhouse on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday at 4:00 p.m.

Clarkson, which plays its first eight games of the 2009-10 campaign against Hockey East foes, owns a 3-0-1 record. Led by senior captain Britney Selina (Thornhill, ONT) and senior assistant captain Carlee Eusepi (Oakville, ONT), Clarkson is ranked fourth in both the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Poll and the USCHO.com Poll, its highest rating ever. Last weekend at Cheel Arena, the Knights earned a 3-2 overtime victory against Providence College and then gained their first shutout of the season with a 4-0 blanking of the University of Connecticut.

After this weekend’s series at Vermont, the Green and Gold will close out the non-league portion of the their schedule against Hockey East foes when they host the University of New Hampshire and Boston University, ranked 3rd and 9th in this week’s polls, respectively, in Potsdam on October 23-24.
