POTSDAM, N.Y. – Blueliner
Emma Seitz scored twice and handed out two assists as the No. 9 Bulldogs skated past No. 7 Clarkson 4-2 at Cheel Arena today to increase their unbeaten streak to six games.
Seitz, the reigning ECAC Hockey Player of the Week, gave the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead in the opening period and found the net again in the third for another two-goal cushion, helping the road team register a three-point weekend.

Claire Dalton and
Anna Bargman had the other Yale goals while
Elle Hartje pitched in three helpers as the Blue never trailed in the game.
Clarkson had a 30-23 advantage in shots but could not solve senior goalie
Gianna Meloni, who made 28 saves to earn the win in net for the Elis.
"Another great team effort today and a big bounce-back game (4-4 tie last night at St. Lawrence) for our group, especially Gianna (Meloni), who was rock solid," said
Mark Bolding, Yale's Susan Cavanagh Head Coach. "We took advantage of some early power plays and executed to get a quick start. Then everybody got involved and we managed the game well against a very strong team."
The Bulldogs are next in action at Long Island University on Tuesday afternoon before playing in the 2021 Nutmeg Classic.
