Clarkson completed a weekend sweep of Sacred Heart with a 5-2 victory before 2,656 fans at Cheel Arena Saturday night.

Just like Friday's game, Clarkson scored three goals in the first period.

Sophomore Ben Sexton opened the scoring with a power-play goal just 2 minutes, 26 seconds into the game:

Senior Louke Oakley completed the spurt with a goal at 10:53, his third goal of the weekend.

But unlike Friday's contest, Sacred Heart answered Clarkson's goals with two of its own to cut the lead to 3-2 late in the first period. Neil Fachini scored the first goal at 11:21 and Matt Gingera scored a shorthanded goal at 14:59.

Sacred Heart's Chad Barthelmess was given a five-minute major for a contact to the head penalty at 5:18 of the second period and Clarkson took advantage with this power-play goal from Julien Cayer at 7:56:
