The Knights came out in front of a good Family Weekend crowd looking to secure their first win of the season.  

Clarkson got the scoring going at 3:34, when Ryan Richardson was able to hit the top corner over the blocker of Mercyhurst goaltender Owen Say.  Mercyhurst was able to answer back when Joe Maziarz scored at 7:20 to make it 1-1.  The Knights would take the lead into the break when Ryan Richardson scored at 11:11 to make it 2-1.

In the 2nd period the Knights got the breakthrough scoring they had been looking for as they exploded for 3 goals.  Alex Campbell made it 3-1 at 9:13 for the Knights.  Then at 16:58 Anthony Callin got his first of the season when he made it 4-1.  The Knights kept the pressure on when Mathieu Gosselin got his first of the season to make it 5-1.

In the 3rd, the Knights would get lots of offensive zone time, which worked out to be their best team defense, never really allowing Mercyhurst to get any grade A chances or sustained pressure.  

The Knights would go 0 for 3 on the power play and killed off all 4 chances for Mercyhurst with the man advantage. 

Ryan Richardson & Ryan Taylor would finish with 2 points, each with a goal and assist.  Ayrton Martino would collect an assist as well.

Ethan Haider made 21 saves on the night to get his first win of the season.
