BOSTON – In the first full week of the 2021-22 Suffolk Athletics winter season, the Ram of the Week voting on Twitter turned into a tight race until the final hour when one student-athlete became the clear winner as the best performer over a seven-day stretch.

AND THE WINNER IS … 

For the second time in as many weeks, the Ram of the Week hails from Suffolk women's hockey as Sofia Scilipoti earned 59.1 percent of the 44 votes cast to earn the distinction. The honor comes after the junior provided five points in a 2-0-0 weekend with three goals and two assists.

Scilipoti opened the week with her second straight three-point performance as she had a hand in 75 percent (3-4) of the Rams goals in a 4-2 win at Worcester State Friday, Nov. 5. The forward notched a career-high two goals to go with one assist in the victory. A day later, she kept her point streak going, which is as long as the Rams' four-game season to date, with a two-point performance split evenly between markers (1) and helpers (1) in the 5-1 triumph.
