2003-04 SEASON in REVIEW ixteen victories highlighted a highly impressive debut season for the Women’s S Hockey team. Playing in their inaugural campaign as a Division I Independent, the Golden Knights, guided by head coach Rick Seeley and assistant coaches Ted Wisner and Shannon Smith, posted a 16-11-3 record this winter against a schedule featuring a mix of established Division I teams and some of the top Division III programs in the country. Laying the foundation for a promising future, Clarkson skated a very young line up, featuring 20 freshmen on the 22-women roster. The Knights, who will join the Eastern College Athletic Confer- ence (ECAC) next season, dominated their Division III opponents this winter and were competitive against every one of their Division I foes. The Green and Gold went undefeated against Division III competition with an 8-0-1 mark, includ- ing a sweep of defending Division III national Champion Elmira (2-1, 3-0) on the Soaring Eagles’ home ice in Late October and early November. Clarkson also knocked off the third, fourth and fifth-ranked Division III teams in the country, defeating SUNY power Plattsburgh (4-1, 2-1) in a home-and-home series late in the season, handing Middlebury one of its four losses during the regular season, a 6-2 pounding on the Panthers home-ice in Vermont on January 23, and edging NESCAC Champion Bowdoin (2-1) at on December 7. Clarkson also posted a successful 4-3-2 mark against several future ECAC teams. The Knights opened the home portion of its schedule in late October by earning a 1-1 tie and a 1-0 shutout over Vermont in weekend action at Cheel. The Green and Gold also upended Cornell in Potsdam, 2-1, on November 8 and swept Union, 4-0, 5-1, in Schenectady in early January. Other impressive wins against Division I foes, included a 2-1 victory at 2002 NCAA Frozen Four participant Niagara University on October 18, along with triumphs over Wayne State (3-0) and Sacred Heart (3-0, 11-0).
