Cam Donaldson and Jeff Malott each posted a goal and an assist to lead No. 3 Cornell past No. 7 Clarkson 4-2 at Cheel Arena Friday night.<\/p>\n

Big Red goalie Matthew Galajda turned aside 29 shots to run his record to 5-0-0 on the young season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it is a statement win but of course, it\u2019s early in the season,\u201d said Donaldson, who scored the game-winning goal on a power play with 9:34 left in the third period. \u201cIt\u2019s good to stay undefeated (5-0-0), but we haven\u2019t won very many games against this team. We\u2019ve only won one since I\u2019ve been here, so it was huge to win get a win, especially on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

Travis Mitchell and Michael Regush (empty net) also scored for Cornell.<\/p>\n

Devin Brosseau and Connor McCarthy each registered a goal and an assist for the Golden Knights, while Frank Marotte posted 27 saves between the pipes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were ebbs and flows and both teams were in control, but it was unfortunate we didn\u2019t get the lead early with some of our play,\u201d said Clarkson coach Casey Jones. \u201cI thought our resiliency to bounce back and get back in the game, I was really proud of that. They got a power-play goal in the third that put them in the lead, and it is what it is. Two good teams battling and a hotly-contested game. It is what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew why they got their opportunities \u2013 because we handed the puck to them in the neutral zone,\u201d added Cornell coach Mike Schafer. \u201cWe just talked about \u2018play our game\u2019 and just get the job done. And they did. They came out in the third, and they were calm and played with even more poise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Donaldson\u2019s goal pushed the Cornell power play to 9 for 21 on the season. The 42.9 percent success rate leads the country going into Saturday\u2019s games. The goal also ended Clarkson\u2019s streak of 25 consecutive kills.<\/p>\n

AIC 12, Mercyhurst 0<\/h4>\n

Elijiah Barriga notched a hat trick, Tobias Fladeby added two goals and two assists, Austin Albrecht totaled four assists and Zacharias Skog made 18 saves as the Yellow Jackets scored 12 goals for the first time in their Division I history.<\/p>\n

“Just throw the game out,\u201d American International coach Eric Lang said. \u201cIt’s one of those nights where everything we threw at the net went in. I know that Mercyhurst program. They have a ton of pride, and you don’t have the level of success within a program they have had without bouncing back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know we will get their best punch tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

Dodero goes under the bar and we've got a dozen biscuits in the basket! Time of the goal is 7:59 of the third.#AICommitted<\/a><\/p>\n
