Women in the Hunt

If you haven't been watching, the Clarkson Women have quietly been putting together an amazing season and are in the hunt for an at-large berth for the NCAA Tournament. The #9 Knights enter the final weekend of ECACHL play alone in 3rd place. The knights need a single point to secure home ice in the opening round of the ECACHL tournament.

While the women are trying to take care of business against Quinnipiac and Princeton this weekend, we'll be scoreboard watching. Clarkson stands in 9th place in the Pairwise Rankings just out of the final at-large spot currently occupied by Connecticut by the slimmest of margins.

Britney Selina is leading the Knights in scoring. Her 41 points are good enough for 9th in the country. Genevieve Lavoie and Melissa Waldie are also above the point per game mark with leading goal-scorer Marie-Jo Gaudet on the cusp. Clarkson's freshman goaltending duo of Lauren Dahm and Eve Grandmont-Berube are ranked #3 and #7 in the NCAA in goaltending combining for a GAA of less than 1.5 GAA.

Clarkson lost in Princeton 3-2 and defeated Quinnipiac 3-1 early in the season.

Every game is big from here on out. If you're Potsdam, it's time to get to the arena and support your Knights. Friday at 7:00, Saturday at 4:00!
