The Series: The Golden Knights have won twice and tied twice in 21 all-time meetings against Vassar, last getting a tie in 2015 and the last victory coming during 2006. Clarkson has enjoyed more success since Bard, going 7-2-1 in 10 meetings, including a 1-0 victory last year.

Key Stats for Clarkson (5-5-2, 0-3-1 Liberty League): The Golden Knights are still looking for their first goal in conference contests, but the defense has kept the squad in games as the Knights have allowed only five goals in four league games, including a 2-0 defeat to fifth-ranked William Smith in which Clarkson was down a player for 73 minutes. Some steady minutes from Emily Davis, Maddie Lopol, and Arin Bates have played a key part in that defensive effort, as has Molly DiCaprio, who owns a 0.94 goals against average and .833 save percentage.

Key Stats for Vassar (6-3-3, 2-1-1 Liberty League): The Brewers have excelled on both offense and defense in 2022, allowing a total of five goals in 12 games thus far, and scoring nine times in their four league contests. Claire Karlin leads the team in scoring with four goals and is followed closely by Madison Bouggess, who has seven points on three goals and an assist. Riley McGrath, Noelle Namba, and Ariana Pjetri have each scored twice. Teresa Zimmer ranks among the conference leaders as the team's goalkeeper, sporting a 0.44 goals against average and .821 save percentage. She has six solo shutouts and two more shared shutouts as she has played all but 56 minutes in net for Vassar.

Key Stats for Bard (3-8-1, 0-5-0 Liberty League): Since the start of conference play, the Raptors have struggled overall, giving up 22 goals without the benefit of a goal of their own, a considerable difference from non-conference games where the team had just a two-goal deficit (7 goals for, 9 goals against). Emma Kuntz (2-1-5) and Kylie Quinn (2-0-4) are the team's leading scorers. Seymone Rosenberg has recorded 53 saves in 810 minutes, accounting for all three wins with two shutouts and a 2.22 goals against average. Sam Finn got the last start between the posts for Bard against Ithaca, and has a 3.67 goals against average.
