The Series: Clarkson is 4-10 all-time against Skidmore. The last three doubleheaders have gone in the books as sweeps, with Skidmore winning both contests in 2018 and 2022, and the Knights taking both contests in 2019, the last time Clarkson played the Thoroughbreds at Scott Field.

Key Stats for Clarkson (18-16, 4-8 Liberty League): The Golden Knights have had several hot hitters as of late. Sophomore catcher Zoey Kovach is hitting .481 over her last 16 games (26-for-54) with 10 runs scored and 11 RBI and has upped her slash line in the process to .377/.408/.474. Emma Sabourin is batting .485 over her last 10 games (16-for-33) and is hitting .361/.402/.454. Sabourin has spent only one day this season with an average below .300, that coming back during the team's Florida trip. Elizabeth Greco is hitting .380 over her last 18 games and has a solid line of .343/.410/.429 for the year.

Key Stats for Skidmore (10-19, 3-7 Liberty League): Meghan Robertson leads the team as a two-way player for the Thoroughbreds, though her best numbers come at the plate. She is hitting .415/.457/.702 for the year with 18 extra-base hits, including three home runs. Grace O'Connell is also just above the .400 mark at .403/.452.532, and Chloe McGonagle is batting .333/.365/.444 with nine doubles. In the pitching circle, Lindsay Raimondi has posted a 2.63 earned run average thanks to 94 strikeouts and only 92 hits allowed in 101 innings pitched. All of the Skidmore's hurlers, however, have struggled with the strike zone, allowing 123 walks against 129 strikeouts as a team.
