The Series: The Golden Knights head to Canton to take on St. Lawrence on Friday evening and then face RIT and University of Rochester on Saturday at Alumni Gymnasium. Clarkson has won 20 straight matches against St. Lawrence and are now 71-62 all-time against the Saints, having last lost to their Route 11 rival in 2010. Clarkson trails 23-27 against RIT, but have won three straight, including two meetings in 2023. Versus Rochester, the Knights are 4-6, with the Yellowjackets having won the match in 2023.

Key Stats for Clarkson (7-12, 1-3 Liberty League): The Knights saw their three-match winning streak snapped last Saturday. Though her success rate has fallen in recent weeks, Allyson Treichel still finds herself atop the Liberty League leaderboard in hitting percentage at .316, averaging 2.31 kills per set to go along with a team-best 0.73 blocks per set, a figure that places her seventh in the conference. Likewise, Abigail Spector has dipped just under five digs per set (4.94) for the first time since the opening weekend of 2024, but she still has the top figure in the conference as well.

Key Stats for RIT (14-7, 3-1 Liberty League): Many of the same names are back for the Tigers, a team that took Clarkson to five sets in the Liberty League First Round a year ago.

Sydney Neff is averaging 8.88 assists, 0.45 aces, and 2.70 digs per set, while Hailey Blixt is contributing 4.15 digs and 0.45 aces per set.
