The Series: Clarkson has won three-quarters of the meetings against SUNY Canton, winning 24 of 32, but the Kangaroos won last year's contest 69-54, ending a seven-game winning streak by the Golden Knights.

Key Stats for Clarkson (0-1): Clarkson plays its first five games away from Alumni Gymnasium, and this is just the second of that long run away from home. The first contest of the year saw the Knights come up short at Plattsburgh, as a last second shot just missed giving Clarkson the win. Cassidy Dumont, Lauryn Withrow, and Raelin Burns each scored 11 in the season-opener, but it was Elaina Porter who enjoyed the best game with 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 steals. Last year, Clarkson was upended by the Roos due to poor shooting, as the Knights shot just 36.4% from the floor against Canton's 53.4%.

Key Stats for SUNY Canton (2-1): The Roos host their fourth of six straight home games to start the 2022-23 season and have seen solid success. The first two wins were incredibly lopsided victories, the Canton was humbled in overtime by nine against Houghton University over the weekend. Freshman Sophia Munoz is off to a solid start with two double-doubles in three games while averaging 16.7 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. Samantha Dayter is also chipping in 11.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.3 steals per contest, while Hayleigh Armstrong (10.5 ppg) and Jayda Pina (10.0 ppg) are also averaging double figures in the early going of 2022.
