RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk shutout its seventh opponent of the season Saturday, Oct. 9 with a 3-0 decision over Nichols to move to 8-3-0 overall and 2-2-0 in CCC action.

A pair have produced double figure points in freshman Aislinn Servaesand Lily Christian. The former leads the way in both goals and points with 13 and five, respectively. The former, meanwhile, has a divided stat line between strikes (4) and set-ups (4). Hayley Long (4g, 1a) carriers a two-game point streak into Tuesday's tangle and shares fourth on the team in points with Nicole Morin-Trotta (3g, 3a).  

Allison Rodrigues has played every minute in net for the blue-and-gold. The senior goaltender has the second-most shutouts in NCAA Division III with seven to her credit behind the league's best save percentage of .904 and second-best GAA of 0.55. 

NOR'EASTER NOTES
