Knights Suffer First Loss

For the first time all season, the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team was on the losing end as the Golden Knights fell to Rensselaer 2-1 in ECAC Hockey action at Houston Field House in Troy, NY on Saturday afternoon.

Clarkson, which entered the weekend ranked fourth in the national polls, is now 10-1-2 overall this season and 1-1-2 in ECAC Hockey play, while Rensselaer improves to 4-5-1 overall and 2-1-1 in conference. 

"The results of tonight's game were unfortunate, but I still thought we did some good things," said Clarkson Head Coach Matt Desrosiers. "We put up a lot of shots and generated some good scoring opportunities but we just weren't able to capitalize and ran into a goaltender that played well. There wasn't a lot of flow to the game due to the amount and timing of penalties being called, but you are going to have those types of games every now and then so it is something we can learn from moving forward. We speak a lot about focusing on the things we can control and I thought we did a lot of those things well tonight. Although we can factor in on the way an opposing goaltender is playing or some of the calls a referee is making, ultimately a lot of that is out of our control so when we sit back and analyze our performance, we will see that we played pretty well and did a lot of good things."

The Golden Knights opened the scoring through junior assistant captain Cayley Mercer's 12th goal of the season. Clarkson's leading scorer broke the deadlock at 16:30 in the first period. Senior assistant captain Olivia Howe and sophomore Amanda Titus picked up assists on the goal. It was the fourth point of the weekend for Titus.

The Engineers tied the game at 12:43 in the second on a goal by Lindsey Hylwa. Rensselaer added a second goal at 12:49 when Mari Mankey scored a power-play goal. It was just the third extra-man goal that Clarkson has allowed all season.

As the clock was winding down, Clarkson peppered the Rensselaer goal with shots, but could not find the back of the net. 

Clarkson finished with a 46-18 edge in shots. The Golden Knights failed to score on their three power-plays while allowing Rensselaer to score once in its eight extra man opportunities. 

Clarkson sophomore goaltender Shea Tiley finished with 16 saves while Rensselaer shot stopper Larissa Salender made 45 stops.

The Green and Gold will try to get back in the win column on Tuesday when they play host to Syracuse at Cheel Arena.
