Three Power Play Goals Lift Clarkson Over Colgate

Clarkson’s Vanessa Gagnon (21) brings the puck wide
along the boards, cuts through a Colgate triple team and
turns toward the goal. Sophomore Jamie Lee Rattray gained possession
near the blue line and put in a fine individual effort to
get through. She kicked the puck out of the way of the
defender and skated through traffic in front, putting a shot
on net near Colgate goaltender Kimberly Sass’ stickside.
Sass stopped the initial shot, but the rebound went right
back to the stick of Rattray, who flipped the puck in on a
backhand at 16:28. Clarkson took a 2-0 lead into the first
intermission thanks to another solid effort from Juana
Baribeau (Amos, QUE). In transition, Baribeau picked up the
puck near the top of the circle and followed Rattray’s lead
by using a couple of solid stick moves before going to
her backhand, picking up her 10th goal of the season at
the 19:04 mark. Sophomore Vanessa Gagnon (St. Constant,
QUE) earned her seventh assists of the season on the
score. Clarkson continued its offensive splurge by
scoring its third goal in less than eight minutes. Again
on the power play, the Knights were able to gain a 3-0
lead. (Taylor Caswell photo)
