HOW IT HAPPENED
Suffolk scored the first six points of the evening, which foreshadowed how things were going to go.

The distance nearly doubled at halftime as Suffolk stood in front, 35-18.
The Rams maintained a double figure margin, 50-36, at the end of the third quarter despite being outscored by the hosts.
Gordon looked to get in the swing of things in the beginning of the fourth, but Suffolk scored nine consecutive points to put the game just out of reach.
