SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse women's ice hockey team will take on local CNY opponent and the No. 4 ranked Clarkson Golden Knights on Tuesday, Nov. 10th at 7 p.m. The game caps off a stretch of 10-of-11 games on the road for the Orange, including four straight against CHA opponents.

The Orange (5-5-1, 3-1-1) just went 1-0-1 in a two-game series at Lindenwood this past weekend. Sophomore Dakota Derrer opened the scoring, breaking the 0-0 deadlock early in the second period. The Orange was then carried by a goal and an assist from seniors Melissa Piacentini and Nicole Ferrara, while sophomore Stephanie Grossi assisted on both of their goals.

Grossi gave Syracuse an early lead in the following game, beating the keeper just over seven minutes after the opening faceoff. However, with just over two minutes remaining in regulation, Shannon Morris-Reade tallied her fourth goal of the season to equalize the score. Senior goaltender Jenn Gilligan had 20 saves, including three in the overtime period to keep the game tied.

Following the busy weekend, the Orange returns to the east coast to close out its road trip with a chance for revenge against No. 4 Clarkson (10-1-2, 1-1-2 ECAC).

The Golden Knights opened the season with nine consecutive wins, but since then have gone just 1-1-2. Clarkson has defeated Syracuse in each of the last nine matchups, including a 3-1 win in the Orange season opener.

SCOUTING CLARKSON
