Game Recap: Women's Hockey |

Clarkson Falls 1-0 at St. Lawrence

For the second straight game over the weekend North Country rivals Clarkson and St. Lawrence battled in a close ECAC Hockey contest. This time, however, the Saints came out top in a one-goal affair, shutting out the Golden Knights 1-0 before 1,363 fans at Appleton Arena in Canton on Saturday afternoon.

On Friday, at Cheel Arena in Potsdam Clarkson came out the winner with a 2-1 victory.

Ranked 7th in the nation entering the weekend, the Knights stand at 16-4-4 overall and are 7-3-2 in ECAC Hockey. The Green and Gold host Dartmouth and Harvard next Friday and Saturday during the University's COGO weekend.

Clarkson outshot the Saints 25-18. Neither team could convert on the power play although St. Lawrence had five man-advantage opportunities to the Knights' one.

Clarkson controlled play on the shot chart with a 10-3 advantage through the first period, but it was the Saints who capitalized on one of their few opportunities. St. Lawrence scored the only goal of the game at 11:54 of the first period on a goal by Jacquie Diffley when her shot through traffic snuck past Clarkson sophomore goaltender Marie-Pier Coulombe (Carignan, QUE) on the far post.

The Knights had several excellent opportunities throughout the game, but could not connect as they suffered only their second shutout ever to St. Lawrence and first since a 5-0 blanking at Cheel on October 21, 2006.

Junior Elizabeth Giguere (Quebec City, QUE), who scored 11 goals and 20 points against the Saints in her previous 10 games of the series, put a game-high nine shots on goal. The nation's leading goal scorer with 23 tallies, Giguere saw her 18-game point streak come to an end.

Clarkson pulled Coulombe for the extra attacker with 2:06 remaining and was buzzing the St. Lawrence net the entire time right up until the final buzzer.

Lucy Morgan turned aside all 25 Clarkson shots for the shutout. Coulombe finished with 17 saves.
