Clarkson Travels for Tuesday Women's Hockey Game at Syracuse

A busy stretch of five games in 10 days continues for the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team as the Golden Knights travel down Route 81 to take on Syracuse University on Tuesday in a 7:00 p.m. game at Tennity Ice Pavilion.
Guided by 10th-year head coach Matt Desrosiers and assistant Britni Smith and Tony Maci, the 3rd-ranked Golden Knights have won three straight to stand at 14-3-1 overall and own a piece of first place in the ECAC Hockey standings with a 6-2 league mark.

Clarkson opened the current five-game stretch with a sweep of St. Lawrence in a home-and-home series. The Green and Gold edged the 8th-ranked Saints 2-1 at Cheel Arena this past Thursday and then took down St. Lawrence at Appleton Arena in Canton on Saturday, 4-1, for their fourth win of the season over their archrival.
