Thanks to a late push, the #6/7 ranked Clarkson University Women's Hockey team continued its winning streak, this time knocking off Yale 4-1 on Saturday afternoon.
Clarkson improves to 12-3-1 overall and an unblemished 8-0-0 in ECAC Hockey games. Yale drops to 4-5-1 overall and 2-5-1 in conference. The win for Clarkson was its 10th in a row and the 200th of head coach Matt Desrosiers' career.
Recently, Clarkson has made a habit of taking the lead early and never letting go. On Saturday though, it was Yale who struck first as Eden Murray scored at 16:30 in the first period to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.
After that first salvo though, the Golden Knights struck back hard and fast. Just 1:06 into the second period, Clarkson was level thanks to a power-play goal by assistant captain Genevieve Bannon. The Green and Gold took the lead at 9:00 in the middle frame on a goal by co-captain Cayley Mercer.
In the third period, Clarkson extended its lead. Rhyen McGill had an assist on Bannon's goal and added a goal at 1:20 in the third period. Bannon had the assist on McGill's goal and then the pair combined for another goal at 8:07, with McGill setting up Bannon once again.
Clarkson finished with a staggering 38-18 lead in shots and was 1/3 on the power-play while Yale was 0/3 on extra man opportunities. Shea Tiley made 17 saves for Clarkson and Kyra O'Brien had 34 stops for Yale.
Clarkson will take a break from conference opponents next weekend. Instead, the Golden Knights will travel to Burlington, Vermont for the Windjammer Classic.
