Yet another tie

Saturday's second game against top-ranked Colorado College ended in another tie, this time a 2-2 score.

Clarkson showed that is has the ability to play with any team in the country as it appeared the Golden Knights controlled the play late in the game, outshooting Colorado College 21-11 in the final period and overtime.
The game was marred by penalties, which is mentioned in the article.

Stats of interest:
After going 30-50 on faceoffs Friday night, Clarkson was 45-39 Saturday, largely due to the return of Chris D'Alvise from his one-game suspension. D'Alvise went 19-12 and freshman Corey Tamblyn was 9-4. Tim Marks was 9-7. After going 21-12 on Friday, CC's Chad Rau was 19-17 Saturday.
D'Alvise and Tyrell Mason led Clarkson with six shots. Adam Bellows and Matt Beca each had four. Rau, who could be a Hobey Baker Award finalist, led the Tigers with 9.

Extra quotes:
CC coach Scott Owens on the possibility of more games against Clarkson in the future, despite the cross-country trip: "I like the Clarkson program. I have a lot of respect for the tradition. It's a long trip for both of us, but I would like to continue it."
Clarkson comments on the wide-open style of play seen Saturday against a WCHA foe, as contrasted to the style often seen in ECAC Hockey games:
Coach George Roll, "That's the style we want to play. I thought we were very good in transition. Both teams were very similar in their intensity."
Chris D'Alvise, "It's better for myself, personally. We are more of a physical team and they are more crafty. It's easier for me to wheel and deal."
Scott Freeman on the weekend, "I think we're happy with our effort for the whole weekend, coming back for a tie is a good feeling."
D'Alvise on watching Friday's game while sitting out the one-game for a spearing penalty, "Yesterday was tough watching, but I had to pay the price for a stupid action."
Tyrell Mason on freshman goalie Paul Karpowich, who was the equal of CC All-American Richard Bachman, "He looks really confident in the net. He looks solid and he's not shaky."
