Clarkson shrugged off a sluggish period and a half to down an outmanned Yale 4-1. yale played fairly well in the first period as their solid forechecking frustrated an incoherent Golden Knights attack. They kept CU bottled up for a large part of the period. No goals were scored and Yale outshot CU 11-10. In the 2nd period, the Knights got it going when Brian Mueller blasted a shot past a screen Yale goalie Todd Sullivan. Clarkson, so far, is undefeated when Mueller scores a goal. Six minutes later, Clarkson broke out on a 2-on-1 when Dave Seitz made a nice pass to Chris Lipsett who poked it past Sullivan for a 2-0 lead. After the second period, Clarkson was leading 2-0 despite being outshot 23-22. However, the Golden knights totally ruled the final period of play but not before Yale made it interesting. On a power play to start the 3rd, Yale's Zoran Kozic put a rebound of a Martin Leroux point shot past Clarkson goalie Jason Currie for a power play goal. However, Clarkson sealed Yale's fate on a fluke goal. Mueller was breaking down left wing and was near the boards. He tried a connect on a centering pass to a rushing CU forward but apparently banked it off of Sullivan's leg and into the net for a 3-1 lead. Steve Palmer blasted a Patrice Robitaille centering pass past Sullivan for the final score. Yale was utterly demolished in the 3rd period as all of Clarkson's passes were clicking The Bulldogs didn't seem to get the bounces all game. Their offense looked very disjoint and Sullivan was unable to repeat his superhuman 50 save performance of the last time the teams met. Clarkson goes to 8-4-3 in the ECAC while Yale drops to 3-12 in the league. Yale heads over to St Lawrence tommorow while CLarkson hosts Princeton.
