LAST TIME OUT
Suffolk women's hockey's offense was firing on all cylinders and Halle Usseglio was perfect between the pipes as the Rams took a 6-0 victory over Anna Maria Saturday night at the New England Sports Center.

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk returned to the win column with its 6-0 cleansheet over Anna Maria to move to 2-3 on the year.  

Every player in blue-and-gold has recorded at least one point through the Rams' first five games. Maddy Burton and Julia Volpe lead the way with six points apiece. Burton has a team-high five assists with one goal, while Volpe's stat line is split in half between goals and set-ups. Shana Cote ties Volpe with a team-best three goals of her own to go along with a pair of handouts for five points, good for third on the squad. 

Each of Suffolk's three netminders has taken the ice this season. Lily O'Neil and Julia McLellan have each played twice. O'Neil brings in a .911 save percentage and 2.51 GAA, while McLellan holds a .887 save percentage and 3.46 GAA. Halle Usseglio is the only goaltender to keep an opponent scoreless, accomplishing the feat in her first collegiate appearance with a 10-save effort at Anna Maria March 13. 

HAVE TO KNOW 'BOUT THE HAWKS
Becker got back into the win column after taking down Suffolk in overtime, 3-2, March 12 to move to 4-5-0 on the year.  

Clare Conway continues to be the biggest threat offensively for the Hawks with 10 points divided in half between goals and assists. Katie Puumala and Cassidhe Wozniak are consistent names in the scoresheet as well with nine points apiece. The pair has reverse stat lines for two strikes and seven set-ups. 

Amber Lee is the go-to goalie for the Hawks. She was the set of gloves that took down the Rams last Friday with a 35-save effort. The sophomore holds a .916 save percentage and 2.99 GAA over three appearances.  

WE MEET AGAIN
Suffolk women's hockey started with two goals before Becker responded with a pair of its own to force and extra session in which the Hawks lit the lamp 1:25 in to hand the Rams a 3-2 setback Friday night at the Fidelity Ice Center.
