RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk rides a five-game win streak into Tuesday's tilt that put the Rams at 16-6 on the year, the most wins in a season since 2001-02. In conference contests, the blue-and-gold holds a 7-1 league ledger, good for first in the conference standings.
The Rams' 78.1 ppg offense sees five student-athletes notch double digits in Thomas Duffy (15.3 ppg), Brendan Mulson (12.8 ppg), Michael Hagopian (12.5 ppg), Alex Jacovides (11.2 ppg) and Steven DiPrizio (10.7 ppg).
Defensively, the trio of DiPrizio (7.0 rpg), Duffy (5.1 rpg) and Mulson (4.7 rpg) pace Suffolk's 37.1 rpg effort.
LASERS LOOK
Lasell fell in back-to-back games to dip to 6-17 on the year and 4-5 against conference counterparts.
The Lasers' 73.3 ppg offense is led by Stefan Masciarelli's 24.0 ppg with the junior guard shooting at a 43.8 percent clip from the field and playing 37.4 minutes per outing. Kevin Nunez supplies 16.0 ppg to the offense, which also receives help from Dylan Murry (12.1 ppg) as well.
Nunez is the main ingredient to Lasell's 37.1 rpg performance with the sophomore guard grabbing 7.8 rpg. Vic Collazo adds 6.4 rpg to the strength on the boards.
WE MEET AGAIN
Michael Hagopian secured his spot among Suffolk's men's basketball elite Dec. 4 at Lasell as the senior eclipsed the 1000-point milestone. The grand marker was not enough, however, as the Rams fell to the Laers, 68-64, in non-conference action at the Athletic Center.
