SENIOR SALUTE
Prior to Friday's puck drop against No. 9 Endicott, Suffolk women's hockey will acknowledge, recognize and honor the playing careers of fifth-year skater Maddy Burton and its 10 members of the inaugural four-year recruiting class: Shana Cote, Payton Dockus, Madison Duff, Jesse Kennedy, Stephanie Moy, Natasha Savage, Madison Scheinberg, Kiley Searles, Sydney Tietz and Julia Volpe.  

This group has been instrumental to the construction and success of Suffolk's young program that has won 70.7 percent of its 70 games played. These 11 young women are responsible for 61.4 percent of the program's all-time offense with 139 goals and 213 assists scattered over their point lines. 

LAST TIME OUT
Exactly a week after keeping Salve Regina off the scoreboard for the first time in program history, the Suffolk women's hockey team repeated the performance. Hannah Gordon picked up 22 saves and the blue-and-gold's offense scored three times on the power play to shutout the Seahawks, 4-0, in a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) battle at Howard Rink at the St. George's School.

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk remains in the hunt for the regular-season CCC crown as the Rams head into their final two outings 18-4-0 on the season and 13-3-0 against conference counterparts.  

Suffolk's scoring unit is the top in the conference with 83 goals paced by the league's leader in all offensive categories Shana Cote (19g, 17a). The senior forward is one of four skaters to eclipse the 20-point milestone with Sofia Scilipoti (11g, 14), Maddy Burton (15g, 9a) and Jesse Kennedy (6g, 17a) all consistent contributors in the offensive output.  

The Rams have cycled through three different netminders this season who combined for a .919 save percentage and 1.85 GAA. Lily O'Neil has seen the bulk of the action with a .914 save percentage and 2.11 GAA in 12 appearances, 11 starts. Hannah Gordon (6-0-0) and Julia McLellan (4-0-0) are unbeaten in the net. Gordon brings in a .947 save percentage and 1.12 GAA, while McLellan holds a .905 save percentage and 2.06 GAA.

COLONELS CATCHUP
Curry (3-19-1, 1-14-1 CCC) has been on a downward slope since its last win, a 3-1 decision over Rivier, Jan. 14.  

Grayson Goolgasian and Paige Rodrigues anchor the Colonels 35-goal offense as the freshmen forwards are the only skaters with double digit points through 23 games. Googlasian leads the way in goals (10) and points (15), while Rodriguez is second on the squd with nine assists and 11 points.  

Anna Langton is Curry's go-to goalie with a .900 save percentage and 3.96 GAA over 19 appearances, 17 starts.

Suffolk swept the home-and-home series with Curry Nov. 12-13. The Rams defeated the Colonels, 3-2, in the blue-and-gold's inaugural CCC contest in Canton, Massachusetts. A day later, Suffolk scored a program-record 10 goals in a 10-3 triumph against Curry in Eastie.
