RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk dipped to 8-4 on the year and 2-3 in CCC action after falling at UNE, 2-0 Tuesday night.  

The Rams 28 goal offense is powered by underclassmen with its pair of student-athletes in double digit points, Aislinn Servaes and Lily Christian, hailing from the freshman class. The former holds team-high numbers in goals (5) and points (13) to go along with three handouts, with the latter's 12-point stat line is divided identically between goals (4) and helpers (4). 

Allison Rodrigues is one of the main ingredient's to Suffolk's success this season. The senior keeper, who has played every minute from the blue-and-gold's dozen games in net, brings in the second-best save percentage (.892) and goals-against average (0.67) of the CCC with the most shutouts (7) of all goaltenders in the league. 

GET TO KNOW THE GULLS
Endicott blanked Salve Regina, 3-0, Tuesday to move to 6-3-2 on the season and 4-1 in CCC action. The Gulls only loss in league play came at Gordon via a 1-0 shutout Oct. 9.  

As an offensive unit, Endicott has found the back of the net 25 times this year. The Gulls scoring is well-balanced with Jaymie Caponigro's four markers leading the way. The foursome of Madeline Mucher, Riley Rischitelli, Chloe Waldron and Julia Matus, meanwhile, have each potted four goals. Assist wise, five different players have handed out two helpers. 

Three different netminders have taken the pitch in goal this season with Endicott heavily relying on the gloves of Jacqueline Ruggiero. The junior holds a 4-2-2 ledger with three wins in shutout fashion thanks to a 0.93 goals-against average and .818 save percentage.
