The Series: The Golden Knights have recorded five straight sweeps of St. Lawrence and have won 19 consecutive matches against the Saints, going 57-3 in sets in that stretch. Clarkson is 70-62 all-time against its Route 11 rival. Versus Brockport, the Knights have dropped the last two meetings (2018 and 2019) and are now 5-9 against the Golden Eagles.

Key Stats for Clarkson (11-7, 5-1 Liberty League): The Knights have already clinched a playoff spot in the Liberty League, but are still seeking a first-round bye and possibly home-court advantage. Senior Sara Galante, who was chosen as the Liberty League Performer of the Week on Monday, is the lone player in the conference to average more than three kills (3.24 kps) and three digs (3.17 dps) per game while also averaging 0.59 aces per set. Marin Hangliter has also regularly played all the way around, averaging 1.77 kills, 2.53 digs, and 0.49 aces per set. Abigail Spector remains the lone libero in the conference to average more than five digs per set.

Key Stats for St. Lawrence (4-14, 1-4 Liberty League): The Saints have three conference matches remaining on the schedule and will need at least one win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Senior Vivian Zymeck has been the go-to hitter for St. Lawrence this year, averaging 3.13 kills per set on 702 attacks. In fact, Zymeck and Araiza Acum-Santos have combined to take more than half of the swings (1180) of the team's total (2275). Zymeck, Katrina Henrich, and Kori Meissner are each averaging better than 2.8 digs per set, and Vanessa Latam is averaging 6.63 assists per set.

Key Stats for Brockport (9-10, 5-2 SUNYAC): With other teams facing one another, it appears as if Brockport has already locked up a playoff spot in the SUNYAC Tournament, making this weekend's matches further tune-up for its conference playoff run. Jordan Thompson is averaging 3.72 kills, 2.62 digs, and 0.42 aces per set. Although four other hitters are averaging better than two kills per set, none have played in more than 60% of the team's sets, putting Alenna Williamson as the team's next best option with a 1.91 kills per set and a .311 hitting percentage. Kaitlyn Jewett and Elsie Logan both average close to half an ace per set.
