RAMS REVIEW
Suffolk wrapped up 2019 with a 4-3 triumph over Salem State to sit 4-7-1 overall.  

The Rams' 28-goal offense is well-balanced with 18 different players with at least one point. Upperclassmen Brian Brooks and Jack Kelly lead the way with seven points apiece. The latter is the top scorer with four goals and three assists, while the former's stat line is a mirror image. 

Cal Wilcox and Nathan Pickett have shared time in between the pipes this season. Wilcox will most likely get the nod Saturday and brings in a stat line of a 4.57 GAA and .884 save percentage through seven appearances with a pair of wins to his credit. 

BANTAMS BREAKDOWN
Trinity fell in its fall finale to NEHC member No. 8 Hobart, 4-2. The setback marked the Bantams first loss of the year. Prior to hosting Suffolk Saturday, Trinity, who brings in a 7-1-0 record into the weekend, travels to Plymouth State Friday night.  

Barclay Gammill paces the Bantams' 26-goal offense with four goals and five helpers. Lucas Michaud has a knack for setting up Trinity's scorers with seven assists to go along with one marker to sit second on the squad with eight points. 

Three different gloves have defended the net for Trinity this season. Teddy Loughborough is the go-to-starter and holds a 1.41 GAA and .946 save percentage in five starts. Jonah Capriotti holds a 1.50 GAA and .914 save percentage in two games played and Samuel Kany boasts a 1.00 GAA and .964 save percentage in his lone appearance.
