The Series: Bench players hurt the Golden Knights the first time around against both Rensselaer and Skidmore. Julia Rowe produced a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds as a reserve in RPI's 68-55 win, which included a 19-7 run in the fourth by the Engineers. Madison Meyer scored 14 points in just 17 minutes off the bench for Skidmore in the Thoroughbreds' 60-44 victory in December.

Key Stats for Clarkson (9-14, 5-11 Liberty League): Junior Raelin Burns will be playing her final games as a Golden Knight as she is graduating early, though the Green and Gold wish she would stick around longer with the results she has produced recently. Burns has averaged 15.7 points per game over the last seven contests, four points more than her season average, and is shooting 53.1% from beyond the 3-point arc in that stretch, going 17-for-32 from deep.

Key Stats for Rensselaer (11-12, 5-11 Liberty League): The Engineers produced solid results against out of conference foes, going 6-1, but have been eliminated from playoff contention with five wins in 16 tries against the Liberty League. Sienna Smith leads the conference in field goal percentage (49.3%) and is sixth in the league in scoring at 13.4 points per game. Callie Flynn produces 8.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in less than 19 minutes per contest, and Tyler Hormazabal leads the league in assists (3.7 apg).

Key Stats for Skidmore (12-11, 10-6 Liberty League): The Thoroughbreds have clinched a playoff berth, but are still looking to lock down a first round home playoff contest. The beauty of Skidmore's offense this season is its lack of reliance on any specific player from game to game. Four different players are averaging eight points per game or more, but none reach even nine. When considering only league contests, Cassie Davidson leads the team at 9.2 points per game, but the fourth-place scorer Sarah Chambers is still at 8.8 points per contest.
