RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk returned to the win column in convincing fashion with a 5-1 victory over Curry Saturday to bring an 8-4-2 overall record and 3-1-1 CCC mark into Vacation Land.
The trio of Diego Pierantozzi (6g), Brady Sorensen (5g, 2a) and Francisco Valck (3g, 5a) have all surpassed the double-digit point plateau to anchor the Rams' 30-goal offense.
Nathan Harlow has taken on the bulk of the workload in net. In nine games played, all starts, the freshman holds a 1.22 GAA and .771 save percentage with a 5-3-1 record and a pair of shutouts. Xander Balog, meanwhile, has assembled a 1.00 GAA and .737 save percentage in his five appearances, all starts. Balog sits 3-1-1 on the year with two cleansheets.
