Knights Come Up Short in 2-1 Loss at Princeton

A gutsy effort by an undermanned Clarkson Women's Hockey team came up just short as the Golden Knights were edged out 2-1 in a Top 10 battle against Princeton at Hobey Baker Rink in New Jersey

Ranked 5th in the country, Clarkson suffered its first loss since October 5, ending a 10-game unbeaten streak (7-0-3). The Golden Knights, who stand at 10-2-3 overall and 3-1-1 in ECAC Hockey play at Quinnipiac on Saturday in a 3:00 p.m. faceoff.

Princeton (8-2, 6-2), ranked 8th in the national polls, dominated early against a Clarkson squad, that dressed only nine forwards due to a rash of injuries. The Tigers outshot the Green and Gold 41-27 and held a 19-5 advantage through the opening 20 minutes.

The Tigers' effort in the first period would finally pay off when Sarah Fillier forced a turnover in Clarkson's end and fired in a shot from the slot with just 38.8 seconds left in the stanza.

Filler would give the home team a 2-0 lead with her 6th goal of the season at 12:05 of the middle frame.

The Golden Knights got on the scoreboard early in the third period as freshman left wing Brooke McQuigge (Bowmanville, ONT) got a shot past her older sister, Princeton goaltender Rachel McQuigge at 5:47. Juniors Meaghan Hector (Georgetown, ONT) and Elizabeth Giguere (Quebec City, QUE) assisted.

Clarkson pulled sophomore goaltender Marie-Pier Coulombe (Carignan, Quebec) in the final minute, but could not come up with the equalizer.

Coulombe finished with a career-high 45 saves, including 18 in both the first and third periods to give the Knights a chance to gain an ECAC Hockey point on the road.

Clarkson was 0-of-3 on the power play and killed of all six of the Tigers' man-advantage opportunities.
