The Series: Clarkson upended RPI three years ago with a three-goal win (11-8), but the Engineers have won the past two meetings, including a 17-12 victory in 2024. Zach Swanson posted four goals for Rensselaer in that win.

Key Stats for Clarkson (8-3, 1-1 Liberty League): No team has as balanced an offense in the Liberty League as the Golden Knights, as eight different players have registered 20 points or more with no one higher than 33. One of those top figures belongs to Connor Matthews, who was recently selected the Liberty League Offensive Performer of the Week after posting eight goals in two games. Griffin Emerson ranks fifth nationally in goals against average at 7.28.

Key Stats for Rensselaer (10-1, 2-1 Liberty League): Emerson's GAA is just ahead of Joseph Perry of RPI, as the three-time USILA All-American and 2024 Division III Outstanding Goalie is once again recording steady numbers with a 7.50 goals against average and .561 save percentage. Fellow USILA All-American Angelo Venuto jump starts the team's offense, ranking in the top five nationally in both faceoff percentage (.738) and groundballs per game (11.45). Tyler Ruffini (24-23-47) and Easton Morse (25-16-41) are battling for the team lead in points, while Zach Swanson has also scored 16 goals.
