Live Stats/Live Video

The Series vs. RIT: A big third quarter provided the Tigers with some breathing room against the Knights in early February as RIT claimed a 72-48 win on February 1. Clarkson is 26-16 all-time against RIT, but has lost the last five games by an average of 19.6 points per game.

Key Stats for Clarkson (7-15, 4-11 Liberty League): Junior Molly Stewart ranks third in the conference in scoring at 15.6 points per game thanks to 57 3-point field goals, the second-most in the conference. Stewart has reached double figures in points in 11 straight contests and is averaging 17.5 points per game over the last 14 games after opening the season at 12.4 ppg in the first eight. Stewart became the seventh player in program history to hit 50 3-pointers in a season, but she may soon be joined by her teammate Carly Assimon, who has 47 3-pointers through 22 games this year.

Key Stats for RIT (16-6 overall, 11-4 Liberty League): The Tigers take care of the ball better than any other team in the Liberty League, having committed just 267 turnovers, the third-fewest in NCAA Division III. RIT relies on its starters more than any other team in the conference, as the Tigers get more than 90% of their points from the starting five, and each player averages better than 30 minutes per game. Sabrina Wolfe, who scored 23 points in the first game against Clarkson, is averaging 14.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, figures that are good enough for eighth in the conference. Brooke Stanley kicks in 13.1 points per game and is second in the league in field goal percentage (48.6%) while Cori Okada leads the conference in assists (4.9 apg) with 12.8 points per game.
