RAMS REVIEW
After splitting play at the Babson Invitational -- with a 94-81 win over Salem State and a 97-70 setback to Babson -- Suffolk sits 1-1 on the season.  

The Rams' 82.0 ppg offense is well-balanced with a trio averaging double figures in Alex Jacovides (14.0 ppg), Nate Hale (12.0 ppg) and William Rowe (10.0 ppg). Suffolk's usual scoring threats in Brendan Mulson and Thomas Duffy round out the top five with 8.5 ppg and 8.0 rpg, respectively.  

On the glass, the Rams receive 8.0 rpg from Mulson with Hale (4.5 rpg) and Rowe (4.0 rpg) also consistent contributors to the 34.5 rpg effort.

Lasell has yet to find the win column this season as it fell to Fitchburg State, 83-74, and Babson, 93-70, to head into Saturday's showdown 0-2 on the year.  

Kevin Vanderhorst and Kevin Nunez each provided over 20.0 points per outing to a 72.0 points per contest offense. Vanderhorst edge's out Nunez for top n the team with 21.5 ppg compared to the latter's 20.5 ppg output.  

The junior duo are big rebounds as well. Vanderhorst is second on the squad with 9.0 rpg with Nunez' 7.0 rpg good for third. Their classmate, Jonathan Friberg, meanwhile paces the pack on the boards with 10.0 rpg.
