Sophomore Britney Selina recorded one goal and three assists, and freshman Lauren Dahm posted thirteen saves as the Clarkson University Women's Hockey team extended its unbeaten streak to four games (2-0-2) with a 5-0 blanking over Brown before 314 fans at Cheel Arena Friday night.

With the victory, the Golden Knights reached the twenty win mark with a 20-6-5 overall record and remained tied for third in ECAC Hockey with an 11-5-3 league mark. Clarkson hosts Yale on Saturday, at 4:00 p.m.

Brown (3-18-5, 2-13-4) was officially eliminated form the playoffs with the loss.

With her four-point effort, Selina set a new school-record for points in a season with forty. Through thirty games, Clarkson's leading scorer has tallied 16 goals and a team-high twenty-four assists. The old mark was thirty-six set by Genevieve Lavoie as a rookie last year.

Clarkson controlled Friday's game from the start, out shooting the Bears 11-2 in the first period en route to a 2-0 lead after the opening twenty minutes. Lavoie made quick work of the Golden Knights' first power play when she shuffled a shot between the pads of the Brown goaltender at 13:03 for her eleventh goal of the season and seventieth career point. Selina and sophomore defenseman Carlee Eusepi set up the score.

At 15:29, freshman Daris Tendler chipped in a rebound off of a shot by Selina for her second career goal. Junior Marie-Joe Gaudet also assisted.

Senior captain Katie Morrison made it 3-0 midway through the second frame, scoring on a breakaway for her second goal of the season, an unassisted marker at 13:44.

One of the top rookies in ECAC Hockey, Melissa Waldie added to her impressive freshman total with her seventeenth goal of the year, finishing off an assist from Selina at 3:02 of the third.

Selina closed out the scoring with her sixteenth goal of the season at 8:32. Tendler and Waldie assisted.

The Knights out shot the Bears 39-13. Dahm posted two saves in both the first and second periods, and added nine more stops in the third to post her fifth shutout of the year, improving her record to 9-1-1.
