This one was hard-fought all the way. Jason Currie started in goal for Clarkson and saw the game begin just as it had for Chris Rogles last night. Princeton scored just seven seconds into the game. Clarkson then began to control the game but a defensive lapse put them behind 2-0, again just like last night. Again Clarkson tied the score (this time by the time the period was half over). The period ended with Clarkson outshooting the Tigers by about 13 to 3, but the score was 2-2. The second period was scoreless, with Clarkson generally controlling play but Princeton playing a rugged and tenacious game. About 7 to 8 minutes into the third period the dam finally broke on a fine goal by Dave Seitz who skated down the middle and converted a nice centering pass. A couple of minutes later the nicest goal of the night was scored by Tuomainen on a beautiful pass from Todd Marchant. The Knights added one more goal and wound up outshooting the Tigers by about 41 to 24. Princeton didn't take it well and vented their frustration in the waning minutes, including one player who seemed to be trying to get at the Clarkson bench after the final horn sounded. The entire Princeton bench emptied (by the way, isn't there a rule that players should not leave the bench, even after the final horn, if there's a fight in progress?). In any case, IMHO the officiating was unusually poor, particularly from Hearn (Kelly wasn't so bad). This was a tough, emotional weekend for Clarkson, in which they did what they had to do. Those predictions for an NCAA bid are looking less and less inappropriate, I should think... Yale must have mounted an incredible comeback against St. Lawrence in Canton. We heard of a 7-3 SLU lead, but at last notice it was 8-8 in OT! -Glenn
