RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk holds a 3-1 record and rides a two-game win streak into the weekend. 

The Rams' 69.8 ppg is powered by Jenni-Rose DiCecco's 14.3 ppg with Gabriella DeComo and Natalie Fraioli providng 10.8 ppg and 9.8 ppg, respectively. 

DiCecco also anchors the Rams' rebounding effort with the floor general grabbing 6.8 rpg along with identical efforts on the glass from Fraioli and Emily Welling. As a team the blue-and-gold pulls down 48.0 rpg, out rebounding its foes, 4.3

COLONELS CATCH-UP
Curry (0-2) fell in its two-game series with Gordon to tip-off its condensed season last weekend. 

The Colonels' 49.0 ppg is well-balanced, however, not a single player produces double-digits. Kaitlynn Smith's 9.5 ppg lead the way with 8.0 ppg from Lillian Gray and 7.5 ppg by Kristyanna Remillard.  

Kirsten Smith's 4.0 rpg paces Curry's 29.0 rpg effort, which receives 3.5 rpg from both Gina Coote and Gray, respectively.
