RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk is in search of its first CCC win of the season and to snap a four-game skid that put the Rams at 1-5-0 overall and 0-4-0 in league play.  

Devin Lowe leads the blue-and-gold's 16-goal offense as the graduate student has had a stick in half of the strikes, scoring three himself and assisting on five others. Joe O'Brien has five helpers to his credit as well to go along with one goal to sit second on the squad in points (6). Nick Liotino (3g, 1a) and Carter Schram (2g, 2a) both sport four-point stat lines. 

Freshmen netminders Kannon Flageolle (4.57 GAA, .866 save %) and Chris Jackson (7.27 GAA, .779 save %) have split time in net for Suffolk. 

NOR'EASTER NOTES
UNE brings a 2-2-1 overall mark and 2-1-1 CCC ledger into this weekend's home-and-home. A week ago, the Nor'Easters brought then-No. 12 Endicott to overtime twice, lost the first, 3-2, and drew the second, 3-3. 

Juraj Elias paces a well-balanced offense with seven points on two goals and a team-high five assists. Anthony Sciucco and Chip Hamlett have identical one-goal, four-assist stat lines to sit second on the squad. Nathan Chickering has found the back of the net a squad-high three times. 

In goal, Billy Girard IV has played all five games. He brings in a 2.76 GAA and .906 save percentage.
