Senior tallies 11th goal and Team-Leading 28th Point in Road Contest Against Golden Knights

POTSDAM, N.Y. – Terrance Amorosa scored a power-play goal with 16 seconds remaining in the first period to break a 1-1 tie and lift Clarkson to a 2-1 victory over Colgate in ECAC Hockey action Saturday at Cheel Arena.
 
All the scoring was done in the first period as the Golden Knights used a pair of power play tallies to counter an even-strength strike for the Raiders.
 
Christian Powers opened the scoring just 3:02 into the contest as he stuffed home a loose puck from the top of the crease to give Clarkson the early lead.
 
Tyson Spink brought the Raiders level less than four minutes later, beating Clarkson keeper Greg Lewis on the break to notch his 11th tally of the campaign.

"We battled hard. It's disappointing. We've got to find a way to put pucks in the net. We're not going to win many games scoring one goal. We knew that coming in. They're a stingy team. They're not going to give you much."
