New Haven, CT  - Clarkson dropped their opening game of the weekend 4-0 to Yale at Ingalls Rink tonight. 

The Knights came out with good pressure to start the game but a centering attempt from behind the goal line found its way into the net at 14:30 to give Yale the lead.  With just 5 seconds left in the period, Yale's Mike Young would get a 5-minute major for hitting from behind that would allow the Knights to start the 2nd with a fresh sheet of ice and an extended power play.  

Clarkson would not be able to score on the advantage, and then at 10:37 of the 2nd, Yale would extend the lead to 2-0 on the power play. 

In the 3rd the Knights could not get on the board and would end up giving up two goals late to drop a 4-0 decision to Yale.   

Clarkson was 0 for 5 on the power play while allowing Yale 1 goal on 3 chances.  

Brady Parker made 24 saves in his 2nd career start. 

The Knights will travel to Providence to face Brown tomorrow, who lost 6-0 to SLU tonight.
