Freshman Shana Cote also holds seven points behind four goals and three handouts.

Kristen Caporusso has held down the majority of minutes in net for the blue-and-gold, starting five of Suffolk's six games. The sophomore holds a .899 save percentage and a 2.08 GAA.

ABOUT THE AMCATS
Anna Maria found its way in the win column in convincing fashion with a 7-0 shutout of Curry Saturday afternoon to move to 1-3-0 on the season. 

Katahdin Whitney's three-goal effort buoys the eight-goal offense with Georgia McLellan owning a pair of markers as well. Julianna Nelson sits atop the team in points, with four, behind one goal and a team-best three helpers. 

Three different goalies have taken the ice for the AMCATs this season led by Gabrielle Ohanesian, who has started a pair of games. Ohanesian brings in a .902 save percentage and a 4.87 GAA. Gabriella Gibson holds the best numbers in net for Anna Maria with a .962 save percentage and a 1.73 GAA. Sawyer Duncan completes the trio with a .889 save percentage and a 7.00 GAA.
