The Series: The match up has gone back and forth in recent years, with the Tigers winning the last two contests, including an 11-8 victory in Rochester in 2024.

Key Stats for Clarkson (7-5, 1-4 Liberty League): A bit of history may occur on Saturday when the Golden Knights host a celebration for their senior class, as grad student Madelynn Barnum is on the cusp of becoming Clarkson's all-time leader in points scored. Barnum enters the game with 283 points, only four shy of the total produced by Christine Wright (2013-2016). At the other end of the field, sophomore goalkeeper Riley Donovan has made the last three starts for the Knights, recording 11 saves against both Ithaca College and William Smith last weekend and then denying three of four shots against SUNY Potsdam during a mid-week game.

Key Stats for RIT (9-3, 5-1 Liberty League): The Tigers have been excellent in close games this year, which has been virtually every contest. Only two of RIT's 12 games have been decided by five goals or more (both wins). The Tigers ride the offensive chops of three players which have already surpassed 50 points on the year. Lily DePalma (44-11-55) and Morgan Nichter (42-9-51) are responsible for nearly half of the team's goals, while Zoe Heffernan (28-27-55) frequently finds her teammates. Katherine Killian is especially busy on draws and defense, ranking among the Liberty League leaders in draw controls (90), groundballs (34), and caused turnovers (19).
