SUFFOLK SCORES

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk returned to the win column Tuesday, Sept. 21 with an offensive onslaught, 6-0 victory at Eastern Nazarene to improve to 4-2-0 on the season. The Rams are still in the hunt for their first CCC win after dropping their conference debut 2-0 to Gordon last Saturday, Sept. 18. 

All six of the blue-and-gold's outings have been decided in shutout fashion. Allison Rodrigues has been an instrumental ingredient to these results with the senior goalie holding a 0.67 goals against average and .886 save percentage as the lone netminder on the Rams' roster.  

Underclassmen power Suffolk's 12-goal offense. After her hat trick in Tuesday's tilt freshman Aislinn Servaes paces the scoring unit with a team-best four goals and one assist to sit atop the squad in points (9). Servaes' classmate Lily Christian is right on her heels with eight points behind three markers and pair of set-ups. Kylie Flynn is a consistent contributor as well with five points on a team-best three helpers to go along with one strike.

SEAHAWKS SAYINGS
Salve Regina opened its CCC calendar with a 1-0 victory over Nichols last Saturday, Sept. 18, to move to 4-4-0 overall on the season. The Seahawks have yet to find a win on the road, however, as they are 0-3-0 as the away team. 

Meagan McLaughlin is the true facilitator to the Seahawks 11-goal offense as the junior forward has team-top numbers in every offensive category with three goals, four assists and 10 points. Zoe Cox is the only other Salve Regina student-athlete to find the back of the twine on multiple occasions with a pair of strikes to her credit. Cat Hunter has chipped in two assists and one goal to the scoring as well. 

Georgia Drake has been the Seahawks starter in net through their eight games. She boasts a 1.87 goals against average and a .778 save percentage. Three of her four triumphs have come in shutout fashion.
