The Series: Since the two teams began their rivalry back in 2001, Clarkson is 15-8 against the Cardinals. However, much of that advantage has come in recent seasons as Clarkson has won eight straight contests. Over the course of the last six games against Plattsburgh, the Golden Knights have allowed only 29 goals and never more than six in that stretch.

Key Stats for Clarkson (3-0): A stifling defensive effort has led the Knights to their three early victories. Griffin Emerson has been a significant part of that frustration for opponents, producing a .771 save percentage and 3.87 goals against average, figures that place him in the top three over all of Division III goalkeepers. Jack Garvey and Dylan Coan have done their parts on defensive, combining for 13 caused turnovers thus far. On the offensive side, Robert Fox was recently chosen as the Liberty League Offensive Performer of the Week and ranks among the conference leaders in points with 16 (7-9-16).

Key Stats for Plattsburgh State (3-1): The Cardinals are hoping to challenge the Clarkson defense with a sturdy offense that has produced at least nine goals in all four games this year and is averaging 13.5 goals per contest. Dylan Ruland (14-2-16) and Peter Urso (10-6-16) lead the team's offense, while Fynn Whitlock has been busy defensively with nine caused turnovers and 18 groundballs. Steady in the crease, Cole Orehosky boasts a 7.20 goals against average and .565 save percentage.
