RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk swept its home-and-home series with Western New England last weekend to improve to 10-10-2 on the year and 5-9-1 in CNE contests. The 10 victories mark the first time the Rams hit the double-digit win mark 2015-16 when it went 13-10-2.  

The Rams have found the back of the cage 46 times with the trio of Scott McManus (5g, 7a), Michael McEachern (2g, 8a) and Josh Milso (3g, 7a) leading the offensive unit.   

CJ Hapward has been a staple in between the pipes for the blue-and-gold this season. He has assembled a 2.08 GAA and .925 save percentage for a 10-10-2 record that features five cleansheets, good for a share of first in NCAA Division III. 

LEOPARDS LOOK
Wentworth was swept in a home-and-home series by then-No. 5 Curry to skate into the weekend 6-14-2 overall and 4-10-1 in CNE action. 

Six different skaters have hit the 10-poitn plateau to anchor the Leopards' 51-goal offense in George Kolovos (7g, 6a), Ethan Lim (5g, 7a), Nikolas Sombrowski (5g, 7a), Nolan Lowe (3g, 8a), Alex Walicki (4g, 7a) and Dane Probe (5g, 5a).  

Jack McGovern has taken on the bulk of the work load in net. In 15 games played, 13 starts, he has built a 2.91 GAA and .914 save percentage. Topher Chirico, meanwhile, holds a 3.05 GAA and .916 save percentage in his eight games played. 

LAST TIME WE MET 
Suffolk split its home-and-home series with Wentworth Nov. 8-9. The Rams slipped in overtime 1-0 to open the series before shutting out the Leopards, 2-0, in the last meeting.
