Suffolk slipped in its season opener, 52-50 at Salve Regina, but righted the wrong Friday night with a 90-45 victory over Saint Joseph's (Brooklyn) to move to 1-1 on the season.

The guard is shooting 65.0 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from behind the arc. Georgia Bourikas is second on the team with 12.0 ppg, while Shannon Smith is also averaging double digits with 10.0 ppg.
Alexis Hackett paces the Rams on the glass with 9.5 rpg with Jordan Hipwell and Gabriella DeComo adding 6.5 rpg and 4.5 rpg, respectively.
ROADRUNNER REVIEW
Ramapo improved to 2-0 on the season after defeating York in the semifinal of the Roadrunner Tip-Off Tournament Friday night.
The Roadrunners have a well-balanced offense paced by Tia Solomon's 9.5 ppg. Jessica Repasy (9.0 ppg) and Jenna Harsh (8.5 ppg) add to the effort. Solomon also leads the way defensively with 10.5 rpg with Repasy and Hannah Cambel each providing 6.5 rpg.

EYES ON THE GAME
RECORD WATCH
Georgia Bourikas looks to stamp her name in the Rams' record book this season. The senior is just 255 points shy of the coveted 1,000-point milestone. The guard from Hull, Massachusetts, also looks to move her current fourth-place standing on the all-time treys made list with 107 up, while she also has the chance to seal up spots on the all-time assists (158) and blocks (29) list.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Suffolk heads to Colby Sawyer Tuesday, Nov. 21 for a 6 p.m. clash.
