Knights Score Early and Often in 4-1 Win Over Quinnipiac

Potsdam, NY – Three first-period goals, including one just 12 seconds into the contest, highlighted the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team's effort in a key 4-1 victory over Quinnipiac University in ECAC Hockey action Friday afternoon at Cheel Arena.

The Golden Knights improved to 19-7-3 overall and 12-3-2 in ECAC play, while the Bobcats fell to 21-6-2 and 11-5-1, tightening up the ECAC standings. Clarkson faces Princeton University on Saturday afternoon.

In stark contrast to the first time the two teams played when neither squad to score in 65 minutes, the Golden Knights took advantage of an early mistake to record one of the fastest goals in program history. After an opening faceoff loss, Clarkson quickly capitalized a turnover by Quinnipiac in the neutral zone, as Sara Manness collected the puck just over the blue line on the right side. She carried the puck deeper into the zone and then sent a pass into the slot for Sena Catterall. The first try was denied, but Catterall kept at it and knocked the rebound in, just 12 seconds after the initial puck drop for a 1-0 Clarkson lead.

The Golden Knights picked up a second goal while on the power play about 12 minutes later, scoring during the latter portion of the extra skater opportunity. Lara Beecher carried the puck into the zone and went around the back of the net, circling from left to right, and then dropped a pass of to Raedyn Spademan. Beecher then filled the open ice in the right circle awaiting a pass from Spademan, and her teammate delivered the puck for a one-timer near the dot, with the shot attempt tipping off the top of the glove of Felicia Frank at 12:29.

Clarkson netted a third goal in the frame a few moments later, this time skating evenly. Rhea Hicks took a hard shot from above the left circle that was stopped by Frank, but it wasn't a clean save as it bounced off her shoulder and over the top of the net. Sara Manness skated around to pick up the puck and then appeared ready to take a shot with a wrap around attempt, but instead passed it to Kate Manness on the doorstep, and she tipped the puck over the line at 15:21 in the first.

The Knights looked like they might put the game away early in the second while on the power play, but instead it was Quinnipiac that got on the board with time winding down on its penalty kill. Just as Emerson Jarvis was looking to rejoin the fray after her penalty time had expired, Clarkson was unable to keep the puck in the zone for one last scoring chance. Instead, it was Jarvis that was able to pick up the puck and head the other way for a mini-breakaway. Jarvis skated in alone and went to her backhand for a goal at 7:47.

Shots were few and far between at the start of the third period, and it was Clarkson that was able to all but put the game away by taking advantage of another miscue by the Bobcats. Quinnipiac was looking to clear the zone, but a strong forecheck by Clarkson created a turnover near the blue line. Janelle Evans jostled the puck away from a Quinnipiac defender and skated in through the slot, unchecked, for a goal to her forehand at 13:35.

Quinnipiac pulled its goal a few minutes later, needing several goals to tie the score. Neither team was able to score over those final four minutes, with Clarkson coming up empty on the vacated net and Quinnipiac going scoreless despite being up a skater.

Quinnipiac outshot Clarkson 61-41 overall, though the gap was considerably smaller for shots on goal at 30-26. Aneta Senkova made 29 saves for the Knights and Felicia Frank had 22 stops for Quinnipiac. Both teams had three power play chances, but only Clarkson could score while up a skater.
