The Series: Clarkson has lost nine straight against the Tigers, a perennial national title contender, though last year's game was a win for RIT by a score of just 13-10 as the Tigers needed six goals in the fourth quarter for a come-from-behind win.

Key Stats for Clarkson (7-2, 1-1 Liberty League): The Golden Knights have had the same starters on defense all year long with Griffin Emerson between the posts and Jack Garvey, Dylan Coan, and Steve Getsie the key defenders. Garvey leads the conference in caused turnovers per game (2.67), and Getsie stepped up last week with seven of his 10 caused turnovers on the season coming in the past two games. Emerson has a 7.13 goals against average and .618 save percentage in 2026.

Key Stats for RIT (10-2, 2-0 Liberty League): After scoring 17 points in 19 games a year ago, junior Erich Acton has already tripled that output in 2026 with 30 goals and 21 assists for 51 points, putting him third in the conference in points per game (4.25). The Tigers have the highest scoring offense in the league by a nearly 2.5 goals per game, posting 16.1 goals per contest. Ryan Sanders (24), David Charney (21), and Ethan Harkins (20) have each surpassed 20 goals already. Jamie Hunt (22), Joe Holenstein (20), and Logan Fletcher (20) are each in the top 10 in the Liberty League in caused turnovers.
