The 2025 season won't continue beyond Saturday for the Clarkson University Women's Lacrosse team, but a few Golden Knights will be seeking to set some new standards when the team closes out its campaign against Rensselaer on Saturday afternoon.

The Series: Though the team isn't a high-scoring machine this year, recent seasons have seen RPI put up some sturdy goal figures against the Knights. Last year the Engineers reached 20 in a victory over Clarkson, and the previous two seasons saw Rensselaer score 18 and 17, respectively. Clarkson's last win came in 2019 when the Green and Gold won a Liberty League playoff contest in comeback fashion 13-11 at Hantz Field.

Key Stats for Clarkson (9-7, 3-6 Liberty League): Graduate student Madelynn Barnum has set nearly every record possible for a field player at this point in her career, having surpassed 250 goals, 300 points, 100 caused turnovers, 300 draw controls, and many more, but she is still short of the single-season points record. Christine Wright created that mark in 2016 (86 points) and Barnum is three shy of that record entering Saturday. The mark was challenged in recent years by Barnum, Julia Lavarnway, and Sydney Roderick, but Barnum's 2025 surpassed the latter for second place (Roderick's 82 in 2019). Sophomore Gabby Cranfield is a cinch to lead the conference in assists, but she is also six short of the Clarkson single-season standard, also set by Roderick in 2019 (49).

Key Stats for Rensselaer (8-6, 5-4 Liberty League): Like Wednesday's opponent (SLU), the Engineers have found success not so much on offense but with a strong defense. Jenny Canfield is the backbone of that corps, posting a 10.31 goals against average and .477 save percentage on the year. RPI is allowing 23 shots per game on the year, though that number does jump to 26 in conference games. Ella Graf leads the team on offense with 34 points, having scored 27 goals to go along with seven assists. Lisa Boehmer (19), Quinn Wollard (19), and Laure DeLeo (15) have also contributed to the goal-scoring output for the Engineers.
