Christian Restrepo, who opened the season with a four-game point streak, has been kept quiet since the second week of actin. Also a member of the sophomore class, Restrepo paces Suffolk's attack with 11 points on five strikes and one dish. 

Jon Brodeur and Kyle Van Cleef have each guarded the goal for the Rams. In five appearances, Van Cleef brings in a 1.92 goals against average and a.735 save percentage, while Brodeur owns a 1.29 goals against average and a.727 save percentage in three outings.

MIT saw its two-game win streak come to a halt Saturday, Sept. 23 as the Engineers were edged by WPI, 2-1, to move to 3-2-2 on the year. 

Through seven games, MIT has potted the rock 12 times with Loukas Carayannopoulos responsible for five of those markers. The freshman midfielder's 11 points lead the way for the Engineers with Ryan Stuntz sitting second on the squad with four points with one marker and a team-best two handouts.
