Clarkson Routs Princeton in ECAC Hockey Play

A one-goal game after 20 minutes turned one-sided on Saturday night at Princeton University's Hobey Baker Rink.

Clarkson University scored three times in each of the last two periods to break the contest wide open and rout host Princeton by an 8-3 count in an ECAC Hockey match. The Golden Knights improved to 7-4-2 overall (3-2-1 ECAC Hockey), while the Tigers fell to 3-3-1 (2-2-0).

Alex Campbell scored two goals (one on the power play) and set up another one for Clarkson, which also got three points apiece from Mathieu Gosselin and Sacred Heart University transfer Zach Tsekos. Arizona Coyotes draft choice Anthony Romano notched two goals while Ayrton Martino, a Dallas Stars draft selection, scored his first career college goal for the Golden Knights. Nashville Predators draft pick Ethan Haider also stopped 24 shots in net for Clarkson.

Finn Evans scored twice for Princeton and also added an assist, while Corey Andonovski tallied a goal and an assist. Mark Paolini registered two assists and Jeremie Forget finished with 17 stops for Princeton, which outshot Clarkson by a 27-25 margin on the night. 

Both schools will venture out of conference next weekend to face off with different NCAA opponents. Clarkson will visit Wisconsin for two games, while Princeton will hoist RIT for a pair of contests.
