RAMS RUNDOWN
A four-game win streak pushed Suffolk to 13-5-1 on the year and 11-1-1 in CCC action.  

The Rams' conference-best 59-goal offense is powered by Miranda Gaudet and Shana Cote, two of the top offensive threats in the CCC. Gaudet not only tops the team, but the league with 21 points behind six assists and a conference-best 15 assists. Cote, meanwhile, leads the team with 11 goals, good for second in the league, and has nine handouts to her credit.  

Lily O'Neil is the usual starter for Suffolk in net. Her 1.54 GAA ranks second in the league, while her .939 save percentage is good for third. She has the best win-percentage versus her conference counterparts at .6453 with a 9-5-0 record. 

NOR'EASTER NOTES
UNE stepped away from CCC contests Tuesday with a tilt at Bowdoin. The Nor'Easters tied the Polar Bears, 2-2, to move to 7-10-2 on the year. In conference play, UNE sits 6-5-1 overall. 

The Nor'Easters 38-goal offense is well-balanced with just one player, McKenna Remillard (6g, 8a) in double figures in points. Keely Kasputis and Piper Desorcie are on the verge of double-digit points with nine apiece. Their stat lines mirror one another with Kasputis holding five goals and four assists.  

Delanie Corcoran has played the bulk of time in net for UNE. She holds a 2.29 GAA and .936 save percentage.

WE MEET AGAIN
Suffolk shutout UNE, 2-0, Dec. 2, in Eastie before skating to a 3-3 stalemate a day later in Biddeford, Maine.

Suffolk men's and women's hockey saluted the troops in a pair of Military Appreciation contests Jan. 27-28. 

Both squads wore special-edition military jerseys during pre-game skate and in the CCC contests, both of which the Rams prevailed over the Golden Bears of Western New England – the men took down WNE, 4-1, while the women wrapped up the weekend with a 2-1 triumph.   

Ram Nation had a chance to take home a piece of the appreciation affairs by purchasing game-worn jerseys to benefit 22Mohawks, an organization that helps reduce suicide rates among veterans created by Suffolk men's cross country alum, Army Staff Sergeant David Campisano, BSBA '19.
