RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk women's basketball brings a 3-1 ledger into the midweek match. The Rams started the year with three straight victories over New England College (68-48), Saint Joseph's (Maine) (54-47) and Salem State (77-74) before falling at Emerson, 53-48, Sunday. 

The Rams have a trio of players averaging double figures in Amanda DeAngelis (15.0), Colby Guinta (14.8) and Jordan Moreau (11.3). The top of that trio also anchors the effort on the glass. Guinta grabs 10.0 rpg and DeAngelis has 8.7 rpg to her credit. Aisling Crowley has factored into the blue-and-gold's 45.0 rpg with 7.0 rpg to her credit.

Wheaton's record is the reverse of Suffolk's at 1-3 with setbacks to Maine Maritime (58-45), Union (67-57) and Southern Maine (60-46) and a triumph over the Rams' Conference of New England (CNE) counterpart Curry (62-57).  

Greta Minos leads the offensive output with 12.8 points per game, while Abby Fernandes supplies 11.0 ppg to the scoring and hands out 2.3 assists per game. Nasha Arnold is the top threat on the glass with 6.8 rpg. Minos is in the rebounding conversation as well with 4.8 rpg.
