RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk women's basketball heads into the weekend with its best start in 18 years at 5-1.

Natalie Fraioli chips in 11.7 points and 5.7 boards per outing with Gabriella DeComo adding 10.2 points to Suffolk's 70.3 offensive output.

RECORD WATCH
Last weekend, Jenni-Rose DiCecco sealed her spot as the Rams' all-time leader in assists and steals. She rewrote the handouts record, which was held by Amber Conte for the past 19 years, and claimed the steal mark, which Lauren Burns had since 2007, in a 71-42 victory over Curry March 12.
