RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has traded wins and losses in the new year to sit 11-5 on the season and 5-3 in CCC contests.  

The twosome of Amanda DeAngelis (15.1 ppg, 11.7 rpg) and Lauren Romito (13.6 ppg, 9.2 rpg) lead the Rams on offense and defense. The pair is on the verge of hitting the 1,000 point milestone. DeAngelis enters the weekend 47 points away, while Romito is 32 points from the 1K Club. Colby Guinta and Jordan Moreau supply 9.9 ppg and 9.4 ppg, respectively, to the blue-and-gold's 69.8 ppg offensive output.  

HAWKS HAVE TO KNOW
Roger Williams was handed its first CCC loss in 32 games by UNE, 70-60, last Saturday, before beating Endicott, 68-59, Wednesday to sit 11-5 on the year and 7-1 in CCC play.  

The trio of Katie Galligan (15.5 ppg), Sophia Coppola (13.7 ppg) and Caroline Elie (11.6 ppg) power RWU's 65.0 ppg scoring unit.  

Elie's 9.1 rpg paces the Hawks' 41.8 rpg effort on the glass that receives 7.8 rpg from Coppola.
