Clarkson Offense on Roll in 24-4 Win Over SUNY Canton

Canton, NY – Scoring six times in less than six minutes midway through the first quarter, the Clarkson University Women's Lacrosse team built up a significant lead by the end of the opening period and cruised to a 24-4 win over SUNY Canton in non-league action Monday afternoon.

The Golden Knights improved to 9-5 on the year, clinching a winning regular-season record for the 2026 season, while Canton fell to 3-9. Clarkson is set for another midweek clash on Wednesday when the team hosts St. Lawrence University.

The 24 goals scored by the Knights were just one shy of the program record set in 2023 against SUNY Potsdam, and the fourth time that Clarkson has tallied 24 goals or more in a game since the 2019 season.

Although the score was lopsided, the Knights did not blow out Canton in the other categories as Clarkson had a 35-20 advantage in shots, 21-14 lead in groundballs, and an 18-12 advantage in draws. However, the Knights were patient on offense and waited for the best opportunity to score instead of forcing shots, allowing the team to steadily build its lead and eventually force running time late in the second quarter. The Knights' defense also performed well, shutting out the Kangaroos in the second half.

Gabby Cranfield registered nine points in the game with six goals and three assists, including the 100th assist of her collegiate career. Sydney Nakas drew closer to the 100-point mark for her career as well, scoring a goal with three assists, and Leah Hoeksema added two goals and an assist. Clarkson had seven others produce multi-point games. Riley Donovan made six saves in the first half and Jennaca McGill stopped four shots in the final two quarters.
