RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk entered Thanksgiving weekend on a four-game win streak after toppling Fitchburg State to hold an impressive 5-1 record through the opening six contests.
Emily Welling continues her strong play on both sides of the ball by averaging 10.0 rpg, while adding 8.0 ppg on offense. The senior forward is averaging a team best 1.8 bpg to further aid on the blue-and-gold's defensive effort, helping boost the scoring margin to 14.2.
The offensive output has been spearheaded by graduate student Jenni-Rose DiCecco, who averages 12.8 ppg and 5.2 apg. Allie Lopes finds herself in double-digits in scoring as well with 11.2 ppg.
NOR'EASTER NARRATIVES
UNE has nabbed a conference win on the road over Endicott in its lone CCC game and looks to improve that 1-0 conference record and 3-5 overall ledger against the Rams on Wednesday evening.
The Nor'Easters have had their work cut out for them so far this season, as they have already faced two nationally ranked opponents in then-No. 4 Bowdoin (L, 61-52) and then-No.16 Tufts (L, 60-42) in back-to-back battles Nov. 14-16.
A trio of UNE players find themselves averaging double-digits for scoring in Jordyn Franzen (14.8 ppg), Abby Cavallaro (12.9 ppg) and Kaylee Beyor (11.3 ppg).
Franzen paces the defensive unit as well with 8.0 rpg with Beyor suppling 6.0 rpg to the Nor'Easters' 37.1 rpg effort on the boards.
