The Series: The Golden Knights hit the Rochester area for a pair of away games, first taking on Brockport, a team that they have lost three straight against, including two matches that went to five sets, to fall to 5-10 overall. On the other end, Clarkson has beaten St. John Fisher in three straight, improving to 10-8 against the Cardinals.

Key Stats for Clarkson (12-12): The Golden Knights have been riding a hot streak from freshman Grace Hanson. In the last 14 sets, Hanson has averaged 4.57 kills per set, reaching double figures in each of the four matches and producing a season-high 23 against Union where the Knights clinched the third seed in the Liberty League Tournament. Likewise, classmate Olivia Baxter has been on a hot streak from the service line, having recorded 30 of her 40 aces in the second half of the season.

Key Stats for Brockport (14-9): Alexis Sison leads the team in kills per set with 2.99, but Alenna Williamson is right behind her at 2.97 kills per set with a hitting percentage 100 points higher. Kaitlyn Jewett has 14 more aces (41) than any of her teammates and easily leads the team in that category at 0.47 per set while leading the offense with 5.97 assists per game. In the back row, Elsie Logan is averaging 4.81 digs per set.

Key Stats for St. John Fisher (16-8): The Cardinals average 2.70 aces per set, led by Reilly Morrow's 0.57 per game. Morrow also runs the offense with 8.54 assists per set and chips in 2.34 digs per game. Ana Gutman is third on the team in kills at 2.20 per set, but her hitting percentage of .383 would put her in the top 15 nationally if she wasn't just short of qualifying for the leader board. Kaylene Noble (3.09 kps, 2.75 dps) and Lydia Fraser (3.01 kps, 3.27 dps) play all around and both contribute to the team's high ace output.
