RAMS RUNDOWN
After splitting weekend action – with a 4-3 win over a Becker and a 6-4 loss at Salem State -- Suffolk moved to 3-3 on the season. 

The Rams' 18-goal offense has seen seven different skaters find the back of the net led by Tess Adams' five. The senior paces all 12 players with a point through six games as she boasts seven with a pair of helpers on her stat line as well. Freshman Shana Cote also holds seven points behind four goals and three handouts.

Kristen Caporusso has held down the majority of minutes in net for the blue-and-gold, starting five of Suffolk's six games. The sophomore holds a .899 save percentage and a 2.08 GAA.

ABOUT THE AMCATS
Anna Maria found its way in the win column in convincing fashion with a 7-0 shutout of Curry Saturday afternoon to move to 1-3-0 on the season. 

Katahdin Whitney's three-goal effort buoys the eight-goal offense with Georgia McLellan owning a pair of markers as well. Julianna Nelson sits atop the team in points, with four, behind one goal and a team-best three helpers. 

Three different goalies have taken the ice for the AMCATs this season led by Gabrielle Ohanesian, who has started a pair of games. Ohanesian brings in a .902 save percentage and a 4.87 GAA. Gabriella Gibson holds the best numbers in net for Anna Maria with a .962 save percentage and a 1.73 GAA. Sawyer Duncan completes the trio with a .889 save percentage and a 7.00 GAA.
