The Series: The Tigers picked up their eighth straight win over Clarkson last year in Rochester by the score of 21-9. The last time that the Green and Gold claimed victory over RIT was in 2017 (9-6).

Key Stats for Clarkson (8-4, 1-2 Liberty League): Junior goalkeeper Griffin Emerson enters Saturday's game ranked sixth in the nation in goals against average at 7.35, while his .571 save percentage is 43rd in NCAA Division III. Similarly impressive numbers come from grad student Matt Szwagulinski who ranks 10th nationally in caused turnovers per game at 3.08, having totaled 37 in 12 games this year. Szwagulinski is on pace to challenge the season-high in the Liberty League in a decade, as the last player to reach 50 or more came during the 2015 season.

Key Stats for RIT (13-1, 4-0 Liberty League): Despite playing in the defensive-minded Liberty League and having competed against six top 20 teams on its schedule, the Tigers rank 10th nationally in scoring offense at 16.29 goals per game. Senior Clifford Gaston easily leads the Liberty League in goals scored with 50, as the two-time All-American has surpassed 200 in his career. Nate Senez (24-33-57), Ethan Harkins (30-5-35), and Ian Dinga (15-20-35) also contribute heavily to the team's offense.
