The Series: There is a true lack of familiarity for Clarkson with its two opponents this year. Although the Knights saw Endicott play in 2019 when Clarkson hosted the NCAA Regionals, the Green and Gold never faced the Gulls during that weekend. The two teams did meet up in 2021, with Clarkson winning in three sets. Salve Regina and Clarkson have never met.

Key Stats for Clarkson (3-4): It is only a quarter of the way through the 2025 campaign, but Olivia Baxter is off to an impressive start with 158 digs in only seven matches, twice as many as anyone else on the team. Baxter ranks fourth nationally in digs per set (6.32) and her current rate would be the third highest figure in program history, ranking behind only two All-American seasons from former Clarkson standout Kate Isaksen (2016-2019).

Key Stats for Endicott (3-2): The Gulls have two standout hitters in Hadley Helenbrook and Ava Grace Dresback, with the former averaging 4.05 kills per set and the latter producing 3.50 kills per set thus far. Both add to the team's defense as well, producing just under three digs per set each. Hannah Maguire runs the team's offense to the tune of 9.80 assists per set and is also solid from the service line with 0.45 aces per game.

Key Stats for Salve Regina (4-2): Four hitters are averaging better than two kills per set, but the most impressive figure for the Seahawks may be their middles. Lauren Hoyle is the team's top hitter with 2.81 kills per set at a .256 rate while also delivering 0.63 blocks per set, which only ranks third on the team, behind Francesca Spadoria (0.95 bps) and Lydia Daskalos (0.76 bps). Lucy Swanson plays all around with 2.47 kills per set and 2.94 digs per set to go along with a .252 hitting percentage.
