The Clarkson Series
Syracuse and Clarkson went head-to-head for the first time last Friday (Nov. 5) at Tennity Ice Pavilion. The Golden Knights walked away with a 3-2 victory against the Orange. Sophomore Isabel Menard tallied both of SU's goals to give her seven on the season. The two teams played 22:31 of scoreless hockey before Menard put the first goal on the board. With 1:23 remaining in regulation and Clarkson leading 3-1, she took the puck the length of the ice, beating every Golden Knight defender, to bring the Orange within one. SU fired three shots on goal in the last minute, but could not manage the game-tying goal. Goaltender Kallie Billadeau played all 60 minutes in net and recorded 21 saves.
A Look at the Orange
Sophomore Isabel Menard leads the Orange with seven goals after her two tallies against Clarkson. Senior Julie Rising is now tied with Menard for a team-best nine assists, including the helper on Menard's first goal against Clarkson. Senior Ashley Cockell has put in three goals and tallied five assists for eight points. Her .80 points per game are tied for 13th in the nation for points per game by a defenseman. Freshman goaltender Kallie Billadeau has played in five games, turning away 117 shots and registering a .873 saves percentage. Syracuse is averaging 3.10 goals per game, which ranks 12th in the nation.
