The Rams have outscored their foes 256-183 in the first three games. The blue-and-gold averages 85.3 points per game behind a 52.2 connection rate. The threesome of Keenan Robertson (21.0 ppg), Aidan Sullivan (13.7 ppg) and Cole LeVangie (13.3 ppg) have powered Suffolk's scoring with the remainder of the starting five, William Rowe (9.0 ppg) and Conor Creane (8.7 ppg) factoring into the scoring conversation as well.
