POTSDAM, N.Y. - Women's ice hockey fall to the No.9-ranked Clarkson Golden Knights 2-1 in an ECAC Hockey showdown at Cheel Arena on Friday night. Senior forward Gillis Frechette registered the lone Big Red goal of the contest.

Both teams got off to a strong defensive start, going shot-for-shot with neither team finding the back of the net.

The Golden Knights would notch two goals in the second period by Anne Cherkowski and Brooke McQuigge to go up 2-0 heading into the final period of play. 

The Big Red cut the lead to a manageable deficit midway throught the third period when Frechette netted the puck (assisted by Kenyon Paige and Lily Delianedis), to bring the score to 2-1. Cornell had it's fair share of shots in the final nine minutes but it was not enough as Clarkson escaped with the victory.
