Giguère goal at 7:55 of overtime lifts Clarkson over Colgate for second straight national championship →

Freshman Elizabeth Giguère scored an unassisted goal 7:55 into overtime on Sunday evening to give the Clarkson Golden Knights their second-straight national championship and their third title in five years.

Giguère got a breakaway and beat Colgate goalie Julia Vandyk with a deke and a backhander to win the game. It was the ECAC Rookie of the Year’s sixth game-winning goal this season. The play looked similar to the one Giguère used to beat Mercyhurst in overtime in the NCAA quarterfinal just a week ago.
