Well, in tonight's game at Colgate's Starr Rink, the Clarkson Golden
Knights reverted back to early season form and lost a game they should
have won, 5-2.
 
Colgate goalie Jason Gates made 42 saves on 44 shots as Clarkson went
only 1 for 11 on the power play. Clarkson goalie Chris Rogles played well
stopping about 31 shots but 3 of the 4 (nonempty net) goals were very similar
as Clarkson lost a corner battle and that led to a point blank shot for the red
raiders.
 
Same old story as earlier in the season, offense struggle and the defense
let Colgate have a ton of point blank shots. Colgate plain outworked the
Knights and won most of the corner battles and the defense was rather weak, in
contrast to in its now-snapped 5 game winning streak.
 
Marko Tuomainen scored his 16th of the year to make it 3-1 Clarkson midway
through the second. Guy Sanderson scored a powerplay tally early in the third
to make it 3-2.  With 10 minutes left, Colgate broke Clarkson's back with a
point blank shot from the slot that beat Rogles. Colgate's Cronin added an
empty netter with 3 seconds left to seal the 5-2 win.
 
MY THREE STARS
1) Jason Gates, COL
2) Andrew Dickson, COL
3) Chris Rogles, CLA
 
EPILOGUE (or is it Prologue?)
Colgate is now in an 8th place tie with Dartmouth with 10 (?) points.
Clarkson tumbles to 7th place (17? pts) only a point behind UVM and Dartmouth
and 2 pts behind 4th place SLU (assuming Brown holds on to win).
Next weekend is a key for the Knights as they host the 2nd place RIP
(yes folks, that was intentional) Engineers who were losing handily to UVM at
home.
