First Meeting

BOSTON – In the midst of a three-game road trip, Suffolk men's soccer travels to Hartford Saturday, Sept. 30 for a 3 p.m. outing. Although the Rams and Hawks are both members of the CCC, Saturday's action will not count towards either team's conference records due to Hartford reclassifying as a Division III institution.

SUFFOLK SCORES

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk push its win streak to four Wednesday behind its 3-2 win at MIT, marking the longest win streak for the 6-2-1 Rams since 2006.  

Suffolk's 21-goal offense has been well-balanced with 15 different players producing one point. Diego Pierantozzi leads the way with 12 behind a team-best six strikes. Francisco Valck is on the verge of double-digit points with nine on an evenly divided stat line of three goals and three handouts. Matthew Belluardo rounds out the top three point providers with six, all behind goals. 

Nathan Harlow (1.00 GAA, .833 save %) and Xander Balog (1.00 GAA, .714 save %) have split time in net. The former has started in five games, while the latter has four starts to his credit. Both blue-and-gold keepers have two shutouts to their credit.  

HAVE TO KNOW 'BOUT THE HAWKS
Hartford has yet to find the win column this year as it sits 0-2-1 overall.  

The Hawks have found the back of the net just twice. Alex Quiones and Trey Sadler are responsible for the scores, both of which were unassisted. 

Ryan Lunn has played every minute in net. He holds a 3.00 GAA and .700 save percentage.
