BOSTON –  Five players produced double figures in scoring and all, but two Rams added a point to send Suffolk men's basketball past Gordon, 86-49, in Conference of New England (CNE) play Tuesday night at Larry E. and Michael S. Smith Court.

THE BASICS 
Score: Suffolk 86 | Gordon 49
Records: Suffolk (8-4, 4-1 CNE) | Gordon (5-7, 1-4 CNE) 

HOW IT HAPPENED 
A game-opening 19-0 Rams' run blossomed into a 33-7 cushion for the host with 8:23 to play before halftime.  

Suffolk continued to pour in the points and managed to build a 30-point, 49-19, advantage as the teams headed to the locker rooms.  

The blue-and-gold was thanks in large part to the shooting clinic Suffolk put on in the first 20 minutes as it connected on eight of its 18 treys attempted anchored by Keenan Robertson and Declan Davis, who sunk three each.  

The Fighting Scots got the deficit down to 25 within the first five minutes of the second stanza.

Suffolk managed to restore the 30-point gap that extended to as many as 43 with 6:24 left in regulation, which allowed the Rams to put on cruise control en route to the 86-49 victory.
