According to some "rough back of a napkin math" the Clarkson University Women's Soccer team has spent 45 hours on a bus, according to head coach Zac Shaw, since its last home game. The Golden Knights finally see their long strange road trip come to an end this Saturday when the team hosts 11th-ranked William Smith College at Hantz Field.
