ECAC Hockey powerhouse Harvard University pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Clarkson University Women’s Hockey team at Bright Hockey Center in Cambridge, MA on Friday night to put an end to the Golden Knights’ three-game winning streak.

Clarkson, which stands at 7-4-4 overall and 3-3-1 in ECAC Hockey, plays at Dartmouth on Saturday afternoon in a 4:00 p.m. game in Hanover, NH. The Big Green lost 2-0 at home to St. Lawrence on Friday night.

After a scoreless first period, in which Clarkson held an 11-9 advantage in shots, the Knights took the initial lead early in the second frame. Sophomore Jamie Lee Rattray (Kanata, ONT), back in the lineup after missing last weekend, tallied on the power play at 6:45, finishing off assists from junior Hailey Wood (Lethbridge, ALB) and classmate Carly Mercer (Exeter, ONT) for her sixth goal of the year.

The 10th-ranked Crimson (4-1, 4-1), playing at home for the first time this season, netted two goals in a 47-second span late in the stanza to take the lead. Jillian Dempsey scored on the power play at 15:01 followed by Hillary Crowe’s game-winner at 15:48 of the middle frame.

The Knights out shot Harvard 10-4 over the final 20 minutes, but could not come up with the equalizer.

Clarkson outshot the Crimson 30-28 in the game. Sophomore Erica Howe (Ottawa, ONT) made 26 saves.

The Knights were 1-of-6 on the power play while Harvard was 1-of-5.
