ALEXIS' ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Alexis Hackett is the lone member of Suffolk women's basketball's Class of 2020. The swing guard from Charlton, Massachusetts, has a lot to be proud of throughout her four-year career as the Rams' all-time leader in blocks (150) and rebounds (894), both marks she set previously this season. She is still in the hunt to for more records, though, as she is 21 points shy of the coveted grand marker. When she joins the 1K club, she will be the 11th player in Suffolk history to surpass 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in her career. 

LAST TIME OUT
Suffolk women's basketball's winning ways came to a halt Wednesday night as the Rams fell to Regis, 64-49, at Higgins Court.
