POTSDAM, N.Y. – Patrick Delisle-Houde potted a pair of goals from but it was in vain as McGill fell 4-3 to the Clarkson University Golden Knights in a spirited CIS-NCAA exhibition men's hockey game at Cheel Arena, Saturday. Delisle-Houde, a native of Quebec City, netted markers in both the first and second periods.
 
The teams combined for 108 penalty minutes -- divided equally -- including four ejections.

The Knights went 1-for-6 on the power-play, with McGill going 0-for-6.

The Knights opened the scoring on Jeff DiNallo's power-play goal at 2:45 of the first, and doubled their lead seven minutes later courtesy of Kelly Summers.
 
The Redmen came back to tie the game with a pair of goals just 54 seconds apart late in the first. Delisle-Houde put McGill on the board at 17:07 of the first before defenceman Samuel Labrecque of Granby, Que., a transfer from the Golden Knights, tied the game at the 18:01.
 
However, the Redmen could not carry their momentum into the second frame, as Pat Megannety gave Clarkson the lead for good at 1:52. Jordan Boucher scored the eventual game-winner midway through the period. Delisle-Houde's second goal of the game, with 2:17 left in the second, rounded out the scoring.
 
Third-year goaltender Jacob Gervais-Chouinard put in a solid performance for the Redmen. The former member the Sherbrooke Phoenix made 35 saves as the Golden Knights outshot McGill 39-21. Clarkson's third-year goaltender, Steve Perry, made 18 saves to collect the win.
 
With the loss, McGill dropped to 113-122-10 lifetime against all NCAA opposition, including 2-8-1 against Clarkson.
 
The Redmen finished their challenging preseason sechedule with a 2-5 record.
