THE SERIES
The Suffolk, Regis rivalry is one of the oldest in the Rams' record books, dating back to 1987. The blue-and-gold trail the Pride all-time, 4-12, and look to take down Regis for the first time since the 1998-99 season when Suffolk defeated the Pride, 78-53.
EYES ON THE GAME
BOURIKAS BREAKDOWN
Georgia Bourikas worked her way into the Rams' record book with her 1,000th-point Feb. 1, becoming the 14th Ram to do so in women's basketball history and first since Iliana Quadri '14 accomplished the feat in 2014.
Along the way, the senior co-captain has written her name on multiple scoring lists as she sits third in three-point field goals made (137) and 10th in free throws made (207). Fans can also find the Hull, Massachusetts, product's name on the all-time assists list (8th; 205).
Bourikas has another chance to make history as well, as the 5-foot-8 guard looks to become just the 10th Ram to score 1000 points and pull down 500 rebounds with the fine arts major currently holding 494 career caroms.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Suffolk wraps up regular season road action Tuesday, Feb. 13 with a trip to Rivier. Game time in Nashua, New Hampshire is set for 7 p.m.
