RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk fell in back-to-back outings for the first time this year to slip to 8-5-0 on the year in 2-4-0 in CCC contests. 

The Rams, who have been kept off the scoreboard in the last two games, have found the back of the net 28 times this season thanks in large part to their underclassmen, who have accounted for 60 percent (17-28) of Suffolk's total goals. True freshman, meanwhile, are responsible for exactly half (14) of the blue-and-gold's strikes. Rookies Aislinn Servaes and Lily Christian lead the way. Servaes owns a team-best 13 points behind a squad-high five goals and three helpers, while Christian has a 12-point stat line divided between goals (4) and assists (4).

Allison Rodrigues continues to be the backbone to Suffolk's defense. The senior goalie has played every minute in net and holds a 0.69 GAA and .890 save percentage with seven of her eight victories coming in shutout fashion.

LEOPARDS LOOK
Wentworth snapped a five-game winless streak Saturday, Oct. 16 with a 1-0 shutout of Nichols to move to 2-8-3 on the year and 1-4-1 in CCC play. 

The Leopards have just nine goals in 13 games. Mckenzie Collins and Jenny Montivlle have proven to be the biggest offensive threats for WIT with four goals and three goals, respectively. Neva DiBlassi and Madison Wolf, meanwhile, have a knack for set-ups with two handouts each. 

In net, Wentworth has used three different keepers. Juliana Heaton has seen the most time with 10 games played and eight starts. She brings in a 1.55 GAA and .810 save percentage for a 1-6-2 record. Lily Cohen (3 GP, 1.33 GAA, .800 save %) and Adrianna Arona (5 GP, 1.60 GAA, .765 save %) have seen time as well.
