Live Stats/Live Video

The Series: The Golden Knights have just one win 20 all-time meetings against the Bombers, but that lone victory was just two years ago when Clarkson came away with a 2-1 victory in Ithaca. Last season the Bombers claimed a 3-0 win at Hantz Field.

Key Stats for Clarkson (8-3-1, 1-2-0 Liberty League): For the sixth time in team history, the Golden Knights have won eight games in a season, but only once have the Green and Gold picked up a ninth victory, a challenge that Clarkson will look to achieve, and more, down the stretch. Some all-time performances have helped the Knights move to that level this year. Senior Giulia Mahoney scored her fourth goal of the season on Tuesday to move into 11th-place all-time on Clarkson's scoring list giving her 11 points for the year (4-3-11) and 34 for her career (12-10-34). Classmate Camryn Careccia assisted on that goal and ranks second on the team in scoring behind Mahoney (4-2-10). Careccia is now tied for eighth on the program's all-time scoring chart with 16 goals and six assists for 38 points. Careccia recorded the game-tying goal in Clarkson's 2-1 win against Ithaca in 2017.

Key Stats for Ithaca (6-4-1, 1-2-0 Liberty League): Last year, Alex Epifani scored a goal and added an assist in the Bombers' 3-0 win over Clarkson, and she is leading the team in scoring this season with 14 points on five goals and four assists. Megan O'Reilly (4-0-8) and Delaney Rutan (3-2-8) are tied for second in scoring while Gabriella Mihale (3-0-6) and Ally Christman (1-4-6) are just behind. However, among those team leaders, only Christman has scored in conference play thus far with a goal and an assist. Sara Jakobsze is performing well in the Ithaca frame, stopping 82.6% of the shots on goal with a 0.71 goals against average.
