With the final weekend of the regular season at hand, the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team will look to secure its first ever ECAC Hockey regular season title and gain home-ice advantage throughout the league playoffs. Although the Golden Knights have slipped of late, winning just once in February, they still control their own destiny.

Guided by second-year co-head coaches Shannon and Matt Desrosiers, Clarkson stands in a tie for first place in the conference standings with 20 points on a 14-4-2 ECAC Hockey record. The Green and Gold are tied with Cornell atop the conference, but the Knights own the tiebreaker over the Big Red entering the weekend with more league wins (14) than Cornell (12).

With senior captain Britney Selina (Thornhill, ONT) and senior assistant captain Carlee Eusepi (Oakville, ONT) leading the way, Clarkson is ranked fifth/sixth in the latest USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine and USCHO.com national polls with a 20-8-4 overall record.
