Less than 24 hours after the Rams took down the Leopards in overtime, 2-1, at Porrazzo Rink, Suffolk men's hockey did it again as Ryan Webb's goal at 2:54 in the extra session Saturday afternoon lifted the blue-and-gold to the Commonwealth Coast Conference victory by an identical score at Allied Veterans Memorial Rink. 

Webb, who aided in the Rams game-winner the night before, factored into both of Suffolk's goals Saturday afternoon.
