No. 10 Clarkson Opens ECAC Play Tonight at Union
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — October 24, 2025 — The No. 10 Clarkson University Women's Hockey team hits the road tonight to open ECAC Hockey play against the Union Garnet Chargers at the brand-new M&T Bank Center at Mohawk Harbor. Puck drop is set for 6:00 p.m. as the Golden Knights look to continue their strong start to the 2025-26 campaign.
Clarkson (3-3-0) enters the weekend ranked inside the national top ten after a successful non-conference slate that included key wins over UConn and Merrimack. The Golden Knights are coming off a split weekend, rebounding from a tough loss with an impressive shutout victory to close the series. Head Coach
Matt Desrosiers' squad has shown early balance across the lineup, with scoring depth and solid goaltending leading the way as the team transitions into conference play.
Union (4-2-2) hosts tonight's matchup in its first ECAC action of the season, energized by a strong showing at the recent Ice Breaker Tournament. The Garnet Chargers have found early offensive rhythm, highlighted by a seven-goal outburst in their semifinal victory last weekend. With the excitement of opening league play in their new home arena, Union, led by longtime Clarkson Assistant, Tony Maci, will be eager to make a statement against one of the conference's perennial powers.
This matchup features two programs trending in the right direction — Clarkson continuing to build on its national pedigree, and Union pushing toward the upper tier of the ECAC standings. Early-season conference games often set the tone for the months ahead, and both teams will look to gain an edge as league competition begins.
Tonight's contest marks the first of two meetings this weekend, with Clarkson set to travel to Troy on Saturday to face Rensselaer.
