UPDATED FAN POLICY
With the health and well-being of students and staff remaining the highest priority, effective immediately, spectators will not be permitted at Suffolk University Athletics home contests through the end of January 2022. At that time, the spectator policy will be reevaluated. 

The change in the spectator policy comes as a precaution against the increase in COVID cases throughout the city, state and region.  

The spectator policy applies to on-campus venues including, but not limited to, Larry E. and Michael S. Smith Court, home of Suffolk basketball, as well as off-campus locations in the men's ice hockey home rink, Emmons Horrigan O'Neil Memorial Rink, and the women's hockey arena, Louis E. Porrazzo Memorial Skating Rink.

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk (5-9-4, 5-7-4 CCC) saw its five-game unbeaten streak come to an end Sunday thanks to the sticks of the then-No. 14 Colonels of Curry.  

The Rams, who found the back of the net 18 times over their unbeaten streak, have 52 goals this season spread out over 18 different skaters. Devin Lowe and Shawn Montgomery share the top on the team with six goals apiece. The former is the leader in points as well with 16 thanks to his second-best set-ups, 10. Montgomery, meanwhile, is third on the team in points with 13 behind Billy Roche, who owns 14, thanks to his team-best 11 handouts and three markers. 

Cal Wilcox is Suffolk's go-to goalie. The junior has turned aside 492 shots this season in 17 games, all starts, to hold a .901 save percentage and 3.45 GAA. 

GET TO KNOW THE GULLS
Endicott took down No. 14 Curry, 2-1, Saturday to head into Tuesday's tilt 13-5-1 overall and 10-4-1 in CCC action. 

The Gulls 62-goal offense has seen five different skaters contribute double-digit points in Andrew Kurapov (7g, 10a), Zach Mazur (7g, 8a), Noah Strawn (5g, 8a), Connor Beatty (8g, 4a) and Mitch Shaheen (6g, 5a).  

Conor O'Brien has played all, but two games in net for the Gulls. In 17 games played, 16 starts, he has assembled a .955 save percentage and 1.28 GAA for a 12-4-1 record.
