Potsdam, NY – Six different players scored multiple goals for the Clarkson University Men's Lacrosse team on Tuesday night as the Golden Knights rolled to a 17-6 win over SUNY Potsdam at Hantz Turf Field. The Golden Knights moved to 5-3 on the season and will head to Union this weekend in a return to Liberty League play. Potsdam fell to 2-4 on the year. Although Clarkson scored in the first minute, it was the Bears that would edge out to a 2-1 lead in the first few minutes of the contest. However, Clarkson closed out the first quarter with goals from four different goal scorers in the final eight-plus minutes to take a 5-2 lead. After a quiet second quarter, the Knights maintained their three-goal advantage and hit the locker room with a 6-3 edge at the break. Clarkson dominated the third quarter with a 17-8 advantage in shots, cashing in six times, including two goals from Peter Herrick with Bryan Penney assisting on both. Three more goals at the start of the fourth ended the hopes of any kind of Potsdam comeback as the Knights extended their advantage to 10 with nine minutes to play.
