The Clarkson University women's hockey team returns to Cheel Arena tonight to host Yale in an ECAC Hockey matchup at 6 p.m. The Golden Knights will look to build on last Saturday's victory at Union as they begin a four-game homestand.

Clarkson enters the weekend at 11-3-0 overall and 3-1-0 in conference play. After falling 3-1 at RPI last Friday, the Golden Knights responded with a 6-2 win over Union to earn a split on the road. Clarkson has won five of its last six games, scoring at least four goals in each of those victories.

The Golden Knights top line exploded for 11 total points in Schenectady. Janelle Evans scored twice and added two assists, while Manon Le Scodan contributed a goal and three assists. Jessie Pellerin finished with two goals and an assist, and Kate Manness also scored. In goal, Kalia Pharand made 19 saves to help Clarkson return to the win column.

Pellerin has emerged as a leading offensive threat for the Green and Gold, entering the weekend with a team-best 13 goals and 21 points. Pellerin was named the ECAC Forward of the Month and the HCA Co-Forward of the Month.

Yale arrives in Potsdam with a 3-2-1 overall record and a 2-2-0 mark in ECAC Hockey. The Bulldogs split their home series last weekend, edging Dartmouth 2-1 before dropping a 3-0 decision to Harvard. Yale has already demonstrated its ability to win a difficult road game, defeating then-No. 5 Quinnipiac 3-1 on October 30 before falling 2-1 at then-No. 6 Princeton the following afternoon.

Clarkson will still be without the services of goaltender Aneta Šenková and Sara Manness, who are still over at the Women's Worlds Championships. Clarkson Women's Hockey has eight current and former players representing three countries at the 2026 IIHF Women's World Championship in Herning and Esbjerg, Denmark—the most representatives of any ECAC Hockey program.   Manness joins former Clarkson standouts Erin Ambrose, Renata Fast, Nicole Gosling and Ella Shelton on Team Canada. Former Golden Knight Haley Winn represents the United States, while Šenková and alumna Michaela Pejzlová compete for Czechia.  The tournament reaches the quarterfinal round today, November 13, with a Clarkson connection on both sides of the Canada–Czechia matchup. Winn and the United States face host Denmark in their quarterfinal. The winners advance to Sunday's semifinals, with the medal games scheduled for Monday, November 16.

Tonight's game for the Knights opens a stretch of four consecutive ECAC contests at Cheel Arena. Clarkson hosts Brown on Saturday at 3 p.m., followed by visits from Princeton and Quinnipiac next weekend.

Tonight's matchup will be streamed on ESPN+, with radio coverage available on B99.3 FM.
