Clarkson finished off a season sweep of their archrival St Lawrence Saints with a 4-1 win over SLU in Potsdam's Cheel Arena. Clarkson scored on a powerplay goal only :47 into the game when Patrice Robitaille took a centering pass from Todd marchant and blasted it by SLU goalie Brady Giroux. With about 10 minutes left, Clarkson scored on another powerplay goal when Steve Dubinsky deflected a point shot over Giroux. Clarkson scored on its first two powerplays but failed on its final eight. Then Burke Murphy tallied his 12th of the year for SLU making it 2-1 halfway through the 2nd but 5 minutes later, Robitaille scored to make it 3-1. Finally Marko Tuomainen scored his 12th of the year to seal the 4-1 win. Clarkson's offense might not have been as sharp as in last week's rout in Canton but their offense was just as solid allowing only one goal. Clarkson's penalty killers killed off 10 of 11 powerplays including over 2 minutes of 5 on 3 time. Chris Rogles made 22 of 23 saves while SLU's Giroux made 35 of 38. MY THREE STARS: 1) Rogles, CU 2) Robitaille, CU 3) Giroux, SLU AFTERMATH Once again, Clarkson did a great job containing SLU's forwards and not allowing tons of chances on rogles. Most of SLU's shots came on their 11 power plays. SLU loses its 4th of its last 5 and tumbles to 10-8-2 (5-6-1 ECAC) while Clarkson surges to 8-8-4 (4-5-3). KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT NEXT TIME, GREG In a national hockey magazine, SLU captain Greg Carvel said of Clarkson, "They have too many chiefs and not enough indians." (be Politically correct next time, anyways :) Needless to say, this quote made it into the Knights' lockerroom and must have certainly help CU fire themselves up for the whiping they gave Mr Carvel. Perhaps Carvel should take a look at SLU's sputtering offense and porous defense. If nothing else, let me say (maturely, of course), "HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA" SLU 0 1 0 =1 CLARKSON 2 1 1 =4 PD-TM GOAL ASSISTS TIME 1-CU Robitaille (10) Marchant, Tuomainen :47 PPG 1-CU Dubinsky (13) Sanderson, Belanger 9:47 PPG 2-SLU Murphy (12) Carvel, Beattie 8:55 PPG 2-CU Robitaille (10) Conroy 14:32 3-CU Tuomainen (12) Seitz, Henrich 15:36 POWER PLAYS SLU 1 for 11 CU 2 for 10 SHOTS SLU 9 9 6 =24 CU 12 16 11 =39 SAVES Giroux, SLU 39 shots-35 saves Rogles, CU 24 shots-23 saves OFFICIALS Ammian (who called all but one, non-scuffle penalty) Noeth and linesman Dupree PENALTIES CU 20 for 48 minutes SLU 18 for 52 minutes ATTENDANCE 3465 RECORDS SLU 10-8-2, 5-6-1 ECAC CU 8-8-4, 4-5-3 ECAC NEXT WEEKEND Both teams host Dartmouth and UVM.
