The Series: The Golden Knights are 16-28 all-time against Union, having squeaked out a win last year 9-8. It was Clarkson's first win against Union since the 2013 season.

Key Stats for Clarkson (4-3): After Jacob Mattice stood in the crease for the last two years, the Golden Knights entered 2024 with a question mark at goalkeeper, but all three of Clarkson's net minders have stood out in their opportunities. Griffin Emerson has seen the most action in goal for the Knights with an 8.65 goals against average and .596 save percentage in five games. Both Eric Gellasch and Brett Bohlmann have played at least 80 minutes in the crease with one or more starts each. Gellasch has a 7.34 goals against average and .522 save percentage while Bohlmann is posting similar numbers at a .579 save percentage and 5.88 goals against average.

Key Stats for Union (6-0): The Garnet Chargers are currently ranked eighth nationally and have won three games against teams ranked in the top 20, with each contest decided by two goals or fewer. Just two seasons removed from the NCAA Division III National Championship game, Union goalkeeper Dan Donahue keeps plugging along, having recorded double digits in saves in all six games this season, including 21 against Williams on March 6th. Starting with that game, Donahue has made 51 saves on 78 shots on goal (.654 save percentage). Union's offense is led by Michael Shaw (17-9-26) and Peter Kip (15-9-24) while Matthew Paolatto has a ridiculous .714 winning percentage on faceoffs (105-for-147).
