SENIOR SALUTE
The quartet of Thomas DuffyJonathan EngGeorge Grillakis and Cameron Powers have been instrumental to Suffolk's growth and success over the last four years. They have helped Suffolk to 50-plus victories including the second-most wins in program history a year ago with an 18-8 ledger a year ago. That run featured the team's first home GNAC tournament game since 2004. The four have not missed a conference postseason in each of their seasons in blue-and-gold and look to keep that streak intact this year. 

LAST TIME OUT
A powerful second-half performance by Saint Joseph's (Maine) was enough to take down Suffolk men's basketball, 90-78, Tuesday night at the Larry E. and Michael S. Smith Court.
