The Series: The teams last met during the first weekend of conference play in December. Alexis Kress led the way for the Knights with a career-best 14 points against RPI but 21 points from Siena Smith lifted the Engineers to a 68-49 victory. The Garnet Chargers would tally 20+ points in the final three quarters of the first meeting while never allowing Clarkson to score more than 13 a quarter in a 91-45 decision on December 6th.
Key Stats for Clarkson (10-13, 6-10 Liberty League): The Knights rebounded from a loss at Skidmore on Friday with a 62-52 win at William Smith on Saturday.

Fallon Griffin added 20 against the Herons bringing her season average to 14.3 points per game which puts her top of the league.
