After a thrilling quarterfinal series victory over its archrival in the opening round of the ECAC Hockey playoffs, the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team is one win away from playing in its first ever league tournament championship game. The Golden Knights will face a stern test in their attempt to advance as they host perennial national powerhouse Harvard University in Friday’s semifinal game at Cheel Arena beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Ranked sixth in the nation by both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine national polls, the Golden Knights own a 22-10-5 overall record. Guided by second-year co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers, Clarkson is the number two seed in the conference playoffs after posting the best league record in the history of the seven-year program with a 14-5-3 ECAC Hockey mark.

If the Knights, win on Friday, they will play on Sunday at #1-seed Cornell in Ithaca, or host fifth-seeded Rensselaer at Cheel. Game time for the ECAC title contest is slated for 4:00 p.m.
