RAMS RUNDOWN
With five regular season games remaining, Suffolk's 11-9 overall record and 6-5 league ledger puts the Rams in seventh place in the GNAC standings. 

Suffolk will rely on its consistent trio of contributors of Michael Hagopian (16.1 ppg), Thomas Duffy (15.8 ppg) and Brendan Mulson (11.9 ppg) to help seal up its spot on the conference playoffs. 

Defensively, Mulson powers the Rams on the glass with 6.3 rpg with Kevin Querusio adding 4.5 rpg. Duffy and Hagopian add 4.0 rpg and 3.7 rpg, respectively.

PRIDE PROWL
Regis was edged by Lasell, 69-67, Thursday night as the Lasers hit a late three to move the Pride to 10-10 overall and 7-5 in league action, which is good for sixth place. 

The Pride's 72.0 ppg is anchored by a 13.3 ppg effort by Ademola Afonja. The junior forward is joined in double figures by Roger Hamel, who pitches in 10.7 ppg. 

Alonja is the main threat on the glass as well for the Pride with 8.1 rpg to his credit. Shawn Wedderburn and Juvens Dalger notch 5.7 rpg and 5.0 rpg, respectively.

WE MEET AGAIN
Trailing by as many as 18 with under 10 minutes remaining, the Suffolk men's basketball team made a late push, but it wouldn't be enough as the Rams fell to the Pride of Regis, 65-54, Jan. 13 at Higgins Court.
