Thoroughbreds open Liberty home stand

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—The Skidmore College men's and women's basketball teams host Clarkson University Tuesday night to open a three-game home stand that continues with weekend games against Union and Rensselaer. The women's game tips at 6 p.m. followed by the men's game at 8 p.m.
 
The women (8-6, 3-3 Liberty League) are coming off a weekend league sweep of Vassar and Bard. Kelly Donnelly tops the team in scoring (14.9 points per game), rebounds (9.6), blocks (0.8), and steals (2.3). Amber Holgate (8.0 ppg) and Veronica Moceri (7.7 ppg) are combining for 15.7 points per game off the bench. The Thoroughbred defense is forcing 23.8 turnovers per game.
 
Clarkson (10-4, 5-2 Liberty) brings a five-game win streak into the Williamson Center.  The Golden Knights are led by Devin Sorell (16.2 ppg) and Ashley Loggins (15.7 ppg, 10.4 rpg).
 
The men's game will be a rematch of the 2015 Liberty League championship game, won by Skidmore 68-64.  Erik Sanders (18.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg) and Edvinas Rupkus (15.5 ppg) lead the Thoroughbreds (8-6, 3-3 Liberty). Rupkus is shooting a lofty .570 from the floor.
 
Clarkson (7-9, 4-3) has won three of its last four games after a 3-7 start. Felix Abongo (13.6 ppg), Derek Hart (12.3 ppg), and Conrad Zampier (11.3 ppg) lead a balanced offense.
