SHELTON, Conn. — Molly Elmore stopped a career high 47 shots but it wasn't enough to get the Sacred Heart women's hockey team a victory on opening day against No. 9 Clarkson.

The Knights scored once in each period on the way to a 3-0 win.

Elmore, who faced 50 shots on goal, had her best game as a Pioneer since stopping 17 shots last winter as a sophomore.

The Golden Knights attempted a total of 90 shots, while the home team had 19. The Pioneers have a 2:30 p.m. rematch on Saturday afternoon against Clarkson back at Sports Center of Connecticut.
