Hamden, CT - Senior Marie-Jo Gaudet (Sherbrooke, QUE) became just the second player in Clarkson University Women's Hockey team history to score 50 career goals as the Golden Knights downed Quinnipiac 2-0 in an ECAC Hockey match up Friday night at the TD Banknorth Sports Center.

The Golden Knights evened their record at 5-5-3 overall and moved to 3-1-1 in league contests, while the Bobcats dropped to 2-12-1 overall. Clarkson plays at Princeton tomorrow afternoon.

Though Clarkson dominated play throughout, the Knights struggled to get much going offensive in terms of goals through the first two periods. The Green and Gold owned shot advantages of 13-2 in the first period and 16-4 in the second before finally putting one on the scoreboard. With just 10 seconds left in their fifth power play chance of the night, the Knights' Genevieve Lavoie (Delson, QUE) scored her first goal of the season with an assist going to Britney Selina (Thornhill, ONT).

Another overwhelming effort came in the third period as Clarkson possessed a 12-4 edge in shots (finishing the game with a 41-10 lead in the category), but again the Knights didn't score until late in the frame. Gaudet scored her team-high ninth goal of the season, and the 50th of her career, with only two minutes remaining in the contest, giving the Knights a valuable insurance goal late. Selina and sophomore Melissa Waldie (Newmarket, ONT) were each awarded assists.

Sophomore goaltender Lauren Dahm (Baldwinsville, NY) needed to post just 10 saves to record her third shutout in four games, while Tia Wishart was battered with 41 shots total, making 39 saves.
