WENHAM, Mass – Every Ram contributed a point to help Suffolk women's basketball secure its fifth triumph in a row, a 64-61 decision over Gordon Wednesday night at the Bennett Center.  

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 64 | Gordon 41
RECORDS: Suffolk (6-1) | Gordon (5-4) 

HOW IT HAPPENED
Suffolk scored the first six points of the evening, which foreshadowed how things were going to go. The Rams kept Gordon off the board until the midway point of the first frame and limited the Fighting Scots to just seven points in the first 10 minutes, which allowed the blue-and-gold to build a 17-7 lead.  

The distance nearly doubled at halftime as Suffolk stood in front, 35-18. 

The Rams maintained a double figure margin, 50-36, at the end of the third quarter despite being outscored by the hosts. 

Gordon looked to get in the swing of things in the beginning of the fourth, but Suffolk scored nine consecutive points to put the game just out of reach.  

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING
