The Series: The Green and Gold went to Poughkeepsie last year and came away with a 12-5 victory thanks to a standout performance from goalkeeper Griffin Emerson, who posted 18 saves on 23 shots on goal. Andrew Kearney also was impressive with a five-point (4-1-5) effort.

Key Stats for Clarkson (8-7, 1-5 Liberty League): Despite the 1-5 mark in Liberty League contests, the Knights are just minus-seven in goal differential in conference games, averaging out to barely a goal per game. The title of scoring leader in 2025 is still up for grabs as Connor Matthews (31-14-45) and Robert Fox (18-27-45) have taken different routes to their respective numbers. Matthews needs a big game in his last collegiate contest to reach the 100-point mark, as he is currently six points short of joining Clarkson's century club.

Key Stats for Vassar (5-9, 0-6 Liberty League): In many conferences across the country, Vassar would likely be positioning itself as a strong postseason contender, but instead the Brewers are winless in league games in 2025. Vassar's closest league contest was a three-goal loss to Skidmore two weeks ago. Gavin Arcuri leads the team in points with 37 (22-15-37), while Shane O'Hara (20), Jack Rufa (17), and Anderson Eads (16) challenge him for the goal lead. Kieran Chai-Onn is the team's leading defender with 41 groundballs and 22 caused turnovers. Drew Quinn has posted a .547 save percentage in the Vassar crease.
