RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk leveled its record at .500 (2-2) Wednesday night with a convincing 67-44 win at Salve Regina.  

Jenni-Rose DiCecco continues to pave the path offensively for the blue-and-gold as the floor general's 17.0 ppg anchors the 57.8 ppg offense, which receives 4.3 apg from the junior as well. Her offense translates to defense as she contributes 5.3 rpg, good for third on the squad, as well as a team-high 2.5 spg. 

Alexis Hackett contributes on both ends of the hardwood as well with a squad-best 10.5 rpg to pace the 40.5 rebound per outing unit with the senior scoring 6.3 ppg. Gabriella DeComo and Jordan Hipwell pitch in 9.0 ppg and 7.3 ppg, respectively. 

PANTHERS POINTS
Plymouth State is off to a 3-1 start and heads to Beantown after a 62-50 win over Suffolk's GNAC counterpart Rivier Tuesday night.  

The Panthers' 64.5 points per contest offense is well-balanced with Isabella Earle's 12.0 ppg leading the way. Alessia Salzill (9.3 ppg) and Brittany Roche (8.0 ppg) are consistent scoring threats as well. 

PSU's 44.0 boards per outing is just as level as its offensive output with Alex Ricard's and Jalen Cook's 5.8 rpg and 5.0 rpg, respectively, pacing the Panthers. 

INSIDE THE SERIES

  • Plymouth State is one of Suffolk's oldest opponents with the two meeting in the Rams' second-ever season, 1984-85.
