Katie Frederick scored 19 points to lead a trio of double-digit scorers, as the St. Lawrence University women's basketball team defeated Clarkson 74-44 in Liberty League action on Tuesday night in Potsdam, New York.

"We really showed up today and played our best game of the season thus far," said head coach Dan Roiger. "We played outstanding defense against some talented players and utilized our offense well in all aspects - inside, from the perimeter, and attacking the basket. This young team is learning every game and getting better. That's our only goal this year, just keep working and improving every day."

Hannah Earl led the Golden Knights with 14 points and six rebounds, while Molly Stewart added 12 points, two blocks and two steals. Emma Buonanno and Rachel Marion each recorded five rebounds for Clarkson.
