SUFFOLK SCORES

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk brings a 3-5-2 overall record into Saturday's outing with the Rams still in the hunt for their first CCC win with a 0-2-1 league ledger. 

Klaudia Rushi has been the backbone of the blue-and-gold's 11-goal offense as the junior captain has scored five herself. Delaney Hall and Hayley Long have identical two-goal, one-assist stat lines to share squad on the squad in points with five apiece.

Sophia Barker has played the bulk of time as Suffolk's keeper. Over her eight appearances, all starts, the freshman has assembled a 1.25 GAA and .831 save percentage with a 3-3-2 record. Her gloves are responsible for all five of the Rams shutouts this season. Maddie Brooke has played a pair of games in net. She holds a 1.50 GAA and .833 save percentage. 

NOR'EASTER NOTES
UNE (7-3-1, 2-0-1 CC) rides a four-game unbeaten streak including three straight victories into Saturday's meeting at Suffolk. 

The Nor'Easters have outscored their foes 14-2 over the last four games. Throughout its 11 games this year, UNE has scored 28 games and limited its opposition to just eight strikes. Four different players have hit the double-digit point mark in Tori Keyes (5g, 2a), Karley Belisle (5g), Emily Martin (4g, 2a) and Bella Reil (3g, 4a).  

Sydney Gillingham is one of the main reasons for the Nor'Easters success thus far. The goaltender holds a 0.36 GAA and .950 save percentage over seven games played, six starts. Ariel Martin has seen her time in goal as well. She sports a 0.80 GAA and .914 save percentage.
