The unoffical scoring and game summary is as follows: St. Lawrence scored the first goal of the evening, a power play goal 2:28 into the period. Clarkson responded with three straight goals, one by each Todd White, Dana Mulvihill and Chris Lipsett. Todd's goal was his team high 8th of the season and was a short handed goal.

There were 3832 fans in attendance last night, the second largest crowd in Cheel Arena history. Clarkson plays two non-league contests over Thanksgiving, in BU and Boston College. Clarkson was 2/6 on the power play, SLU 2/10, with Clarkson having 35 SOG compared to 25 for SLU. One note for the game. The game was a very dirty contest with lots of small fights breaking out throughout the contest. Also, CU goalie Dan Murphy gave all Clarkson fans a scare when he went down on the ice for about three minutes in the middle of the second period. However, he seemed to be okay and did play the rest of the game. HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
