Junior Samantha Gladd ranks second in the conference in both goals against average (7.75) and save percentage (.522), but is 10th in the league in saves per game (6.38) thanks to Clarkson's solid all-around shot denial. Junior Jaid Baytos scored eight points in her last game to push her season total to 47 with 38 goals and 9 assists. Sophomore Abby Collins, who ranks fourth on the team in scoring with 29 points, produced four groundballs and four points with three goals and an assist against the Tigers in 2017.
