The Series: The last time the two teams met in Saratoga Springs, the Golden Knights came away with a 3-1 win (2023). In two meetings in Potsdam over the last two years, the teams battled to a scoreless tie (2024) and saw Skidmore win 3-0 (2025).

Key Stats for Clarkson (6-4-3, 1-3-2 Liberty League): Sophomore Zach Ruthfield ranks second on the team in scoring with 12 points, thanks in large part to a recent run. Ruthfield has four goals in the last four games, scoring twice against Hobart, once against Bard, and one more versus Rensselaer this past Saturday. He now ranks fifth in the conference in shots per game (2.38) and shots on goal per game (1.15), while also tying for seventh in the conference in total goals (5) and tying for eighth in the league in total points (12).

Key Stats for Skidmore (5-5-4, 2-2-2 Liberty League): Colin Goodhines leads the Thoroughbreds with 16 points (7-2-16), pacing the entire conference in total shots (48) and shots on goal (21). Despite being held off the board for three straight games, he has triple as many points as any other player on his team as well as triple as many shots as the second-place player for Skidmore (16) and shots on goal (7). Though he hasn't scored over the three previous contests, he has still been active, taking 13 total shots.
