In round one of a North Country battle, No. 17 Clarkson (10-5-1 overall, 4-2-0 ECACHL) defeated St. Lawrence (8-5-0 overall, 5-1-0 ECACHL) before 3525 fans at Cheel Arena by a score of 3-1.<\/p>\n
“This was a high-energy game,” said Clarkson head coach George Roll. “I give St. Lawrence a lot of credit; they were a relentless group.”<\/p>\n
The play was even until Shawn Weller started the Knights’ scoring with a power-play goal with seven seconds left in the first period. He stuffed a rebound past Saints goaltender Kain Tisi.<\/p>\n
The Saints scored the equalizer at the 3:33 mark of the second period. Travis Vermeulen put in an odd-angled shorthanded goal, fooling Knights goaltender David Leggio.<\/p>\n
“We had good focus — it was a good hard-fought game,” said St. Lawrence head coach Joe Marsh.<\/p>\n
At the 11:05 mark of the second period, Weller appeared to have scored the go-ahead goal. However, that was not the case as referee Peter Feola went upstairs for review, resulting in the goal being nullified.<\/p>\n
Just minutes later, Shea Guthrie netted Clarkson’s game winning goal off an assist by Mike Grenzy. Guthrie drove the puck to the net and let a wrist shot go from the top of the slot, beating Tisi stick-side.<\/p>\n
At 19:35 of the third period, Weller ended the Saints’ run with an open-net goal, ensuring the Knights’ victory.<\/p>\n
Leggio continued his strong showing in net with 31 saves.<\/p>\n
“We have earned a well-deserved break; we have shown signs of fatigue,” said Roll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
