After opening the season on the road with 2 record breaking victories, the Clarkson Women's Hockey Team will open up a 4 game home-stand with the University of Vermont tonight at 6:00 pm at Cheel Arena.

Last season the Knights won a close one (4-2) and tied a second game (2-2) at Vermont early in the season.  Overall the Knights are 16-2-4 against the Cats, including the programs first official game at Cheel back in 2003, a 1-1 tie.  

For the Knights, the scoring was often but well balanced last weekend.  Fourteen different Knights scored on the weekend and 18 players registered a point. Haley Winn and Nicole Gosling picked up where they left off last season, ascending to the top of the stats page.   Both have 9 points after 2 games, Winn with 4 goals and Gosling with 3.  BC transfers, Sidney Fess and Carloine Goffredo both chipped in a pair of goals to help bolster the point production lost with the graduation of Dom Petrie, Darci Lappan, & Brooke McQuigge.

Julia Minottii will start in net for the Golden Knights.  She only faced 3 shots last Friday, but only allowed 1 goal last year in action vs Vermont.  

Clarkson is currently ranked 3rd in the national polls, Vermont comes in unranked.  These will be Vermont's first official games, they did drop a 3-1 decision to Concordia in an exhibition game last weekend. 

Tonight's game can be streamed on ESPN+, the home to ECAC Hockey, and internationally on Stretch.  You can also catch the action on air on B99.3 with Casey Ditzel on the call.
