Eric McKean has a pair of goals for the Knights, Tayte Wong has tallied a goal and an assist, while newcomers Luis Cervantes, Jonathan Dereka, and Dylan Jasey have scored in the last two contests. Only Nolan Grady, who had a pair of goals in the last two seasons, has previously scored a goal for Clarkson prior to 2023.

Key Stats for Russell Sage (2-3-1): The Gators began the season unbeaten in their first three games, but have since suffered three straight losses to SUNY Canton (2-1), Plattsburgh State (3-1), and Nazareth (2-0).
