ST. CHARLES, Mo. – Despite not being one of the big names competing in the Women’s Frozen Four, Clarkson left an indelible impression on the hockey world.
Led by a 41-save effort from Shea Tiley and two goals from Cayley Mercer, No. 2 Clarkson had all they needed to bump off top-ranked Wisconsin 3-0 before 3,016 fans at Family Arena.
It is the second national title in four years for the Golden Knights (32-4-5 overall), who last reached the promised land when they defeated Minnesota 5-4 in the 2014 national championship game.
“The (seniors) started their career with a national championship and they end their career with a national championship,” Clarkson coach Matt Desrosiers said. “I’m just so excited and so proud of this team from where they came from the beginning of the year and where we are right now.”

Celebrating the win.
Wisconsin scores but they were robbed by a ref that called penalties based on what he thought might’ve happened, rather than what he saw.
I shot this shot and another clearly showing the goal, but a photographer partner of mine made the capture before the Wisconsin player reached the crease. The puck was already in the net and there was no contact with the goalie.
