ECAC Roundup: Clarkson Nips SLU

The Flying Dutchmen (3-1-1), led by Coach Kevin Sneddon ’92, continued their impressive start by earning three non-conference points at home this weekend.

Friday night saw a wild game in which 14 goals were scored by 14 different players.

Union freshman Jordan Webb’s tally at 16:24 of the third period proved to be the game-winner.

Saturday night was a stark contrast to the offensive explosion seen the night before. With Union on top 2-1, moments away from securing their second sweep of the 2001-02 season, Bemidji State’s Marty Goulet put a shot past Dutchmen goaltender Brandon Snee to tie the game with just four seconds to play.

Cornell 6, Ala.-Huntsville 1

Cornell 5, Ala.-Huntsville 2

Playing college hockey south of the Mason-Dixon line, Alabama-Huntsville doesn’t often experience venues like the raucous Lynah Rink.

Well, they did last weekend.

While Friday’s game was tied at one apiece early on, a goal by Cornell’s David Francis at 5:19 of the first period gave his team the lead for good.

Freshman goaltender David LeNeveu earned ECAC Rookie of the Week honors for his 24 saves.

UAH, however, took a 1-0 lead into the second period on Saturday on the strength of a goal by Karlis Zirnis at the 6:50 mark of the first.

However, three Cornell goals in six minutes of the second period spelled doom for the visiting Chargers.

All-ECAC goaltender Matt Underhill returned between the pipes for Cornell and stopped 16 shots in game two of the series.
