HOW IT HAPPENED
It may have taken Suffolk awhile to get going, but once the Rams started scoring, they didn't stop. The host poured in four pucks over a 5:21 span starting at the 13:39 minute mark of the middle period. Jesse Kennedy jump started the rally with back-to-back goals less than two minutes apart. Miranda Gaudet and Shana Cote followed suit with markers of their own to give the blue-and-gold a comfortable 4-0 cushion at the second intermission. 

In the third Suffolk picked up where it left off and started scoring again just over a minute into the final frame. Five unanswered markers came over a 6:55 span to extend the Rams advantage to 9-0. This time Sofia Scilipoti, Sam Molind, Jenna Caballero, Elise Wainwright and Gaudet found the back of h tenet to push the margin to nine

Grace Wiggett eliminated the shutout as she broke the Bison on the board with help from Taylor Breen at the 8:04 minute mark. 

As time dwindled, Scilipoti struck for the second time on the day with 1:30 remaining in regulation to restore the nine-goal margin, which matches Suffolk's largest victory in program history.
