The Series: St. Lawrence has topped the Golden Knights nine straight times to move its lead to 81-25 overall in the all-time match up. The Saints picked up the victory back on November 16th, 58-44. Clarkson has struggled on offense during its losing streak to SLU, averaging 47.33 points per game and topping 55 just once in that stretch.

Key Stats for Clarkson (4-6, 0-3 Liberty League): The Knights lost their last non-league game of the year on Saturday due in large part to a significant deficit in free throw attempts (34-9), when the Green and Gold were called for 25 fouls against Castleton's nine. The only time all year that Clarkson was called for fewer fouls than its opponents was the game against St. Lawrence (13-15). If the Knights want to beat the Saints on Monday they will need a repeat of those foul numbers to keep St. Lawrence off the line while also improving their success rate from the floor when the Knights shot just 28.8% back in November.

Key Stats for St. Lawrence (6-3, 1-2 Liberty League): The Saints have made nearly twice as many 3-pointers (62) as their opponents (32) in 2024-25, but the team has struggled from distance in the last three games. St. Lawrence is shooting just 19.3% from beyond the arc (16-for-83) in that span, all defeats. Opponents have had their issues shooting from distance against St. Lawrence, making only 21.2% of their attempts beyond the arc. The Saints help their cause on the glass, averaging 14 offensive rebounds per game. Elizabeth Flynn averages a double-double with 13.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
