The Knights would face a tough Catamounts team on Saturday night, twice having to fight back to tie the game and would end with a tie and lost the extra point in the shootout.

UVM would take the lead into the first intermission, Natalie Zarcone getting the lone goal of the first period.  Late in the first period, Clarkson goalie, Michelle Pasiechnyk would be assed a major and game misconduct for contact to the head.  Julia Minottii would come in and finish the period and only allow 1 goal on 13 shots. 

Rebecca Morissette would even that game at 12:44 of the 2nd period, from Kirstyn McQuigge and Alexie Guay.  

Early in the 3rd period, the Cats would re take the lead, but at the 6:38 mark, Haley Winn would tie the game for the Knights.

Clarkson would out shoot Vermont, 12 to 5 in the final period but could not net the winner.  

In overtime, no team had any significant chances, leading the game to a shoot out.

While the ECAC does not conduct shoot outs, Hockey East does, and as the home team, UVM would get a chance to get the win in the extra session.  UVM scored on their first attempt, while the Knights scored on their second chance.  Tied at 1 goal apiece, UVM scored on their 3rd chance, leaving Haley Winn to need a goal to keep the rounds going, but her shot was saved by McPherson and the Cats get the win.

The shoot out will be go as a tie against the Knights record for Pairwise consideration, while UVM will get the win.

Julia Minotti finished with 12 saves in relief of Pasiechnyk.  Clarkson did not have any chances on the power play and held UVM to 0 for 4 with the advantage.
