HAMILTON, N.Y. (11/14/09) -   Senior captain Marissa Dombovy (Webster, N.Y.) scored the lone goal for the Raiders as they fell to second ranked Clarkson, 4-1, on Saturday afternoon at Starr Rink. Colgate drops to 2-8-2 overall and 1-3-2 in the ECAC, while the Gold Knights improve 12-2-1 and 6-1-0 in the conference. 

 

The Raiders held Clarkson scoreless for the first 18 minutes of play before seniors Genevieve Lavoie and Dominique Thibault put in a pair of goals in the final two minutes of the first period.  After holding the Golden Knights to a two-point lead throughout most of the second period, Thibault netted her second goal of the night, again coming in the final two minutes of the period to put Clarkson up 3-0.  

 

The Golden Knights would tally one more goal early in the third period before the Raiders responded with a goal of their own.  Clarkson's Gabrielle Kosziwka and Hailey Wood were each called with a penalty with 4:37 left on the clock, giving the Raiders a five-on-three scoring opportunity. Dombovy scored just over 20 seconds later with senior Ali Edell (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) and freshman Jordan Brickner (Lake Forest, Ill.) both earning an assist.  

 

Colgate's Kimberly Sass (East Amherst, N.Y.) finished with 26 saves, while Clarkson's Lauren Dahm stopped 27 shots.  The Raiders went 1-2 on the power-play with Clarkson finishing 1-3 on power-play opportunities.
