RAMS REVIEW
Suffolk closes non-conference action Saturday to sit 11-6 overall. Against league foes, the Rams are 3-1.  

Two different players provide double digits in scoring led by Jenni-Rose DiCecco's 15.0 ppg with Gabriella DeComo's11.3 ppg good for second on the squad. Alexis Hackett and Allie Lopes are consistent contributors to the offense as well with 9.1 ppg and 7.9 ppg, respectively.  

Defensively, Hackett is on the verge of double figures with 9.9 rpg, 7.1 of which come on the defensive end. The senior anchors Suffolk's 41.6 rpg with Jordan Hipwell and Emily Welling grabbing 4.7 rpg and DiCecco pulling down 4.6 rpg as well.  

WILDCATS WAYS
Johnson & Wales fell at Colby Sawyer, 72-46, Saturday to head into the midweek match 10-9 overall and 2-3 versus conference competition.  

Maddy Moro averages a double-double effort of 11.7 ppg, good for third on the team, and a squad-best 11.0 rpg. Tiondra Hands leads the way when it comes to scoring with 12.8 ppg with Britney Gallagher's 12.0 ppg closely behind.  

Moro is not the only threat on the glass though, with Tera-nay Lee's 6.6 rpg and Mia James' 6.4 rpg also a factor in the Widlcats' 43.2 rpg.
