Live Stats/Live Video

The Series: The two teams have met seven times in the past two decades, but only two of those games have come in the last 15 years. Clarkson leads the series 6-1, including a pair of wins this decade (65-43 in 2012-13; 73-58 in 2013-14).

Key Stats for Clarkson (2-4): As is the case for most teams, offensive production will tell whether the Golden Knights will win or not. In Clarkson's two victories, the team has shot 44.6% from the floor but in the four losses the squad has struggled at 30.6%. Molly Stewart leads the team in scoring with 12.8 points per game, having reached double figures in five of six contests, while Carly Assimon is second at 12.7 ppg. Hannah Earl is also in double figures at 10.2 ppg while ranking second in rebounding at 5.7 boards per game. Senior Kati Gotch leads the team in rebounding (6.8 rpg), assists (2.2 apg) and field goal percentage (47.1%).

Key Stats for Cazenovia (1-6): The Wildcats struggles have come on the defensive end, where the team is averaging 69 points per game and even that figure is artificially low since Cazenovia has allowed 70 points or more in five of its seven games. Cazenovia has allowed 65 3-pointers, 20 more than it has made, and also committed 125 turnovers. Senior forward Morgan DeLand averages 14.3 points and 10.9 rebounds per game while sophomore guard Danielle Caivana just edges her out in the scoring department at 14.4 ppg. Alexis Tubbs (8.6 ppg, 6.4 rpg) and Amy Holland (9.1 ppg) also contribute to the team's offense.
