RUNDOWN ON THE RAMS
Making the transition into the Darren Lloyd era, Suffolk holds a 0-4 record and 0-1 mark against GNAC opponents in 2015. Alexandra Nagri's two scores lead the Rams offensively, while Jessica Harmon found the back of the net once and Jennifer Martin is credited with two assists. Kirsten Weiker has played nearly minute in goal for Suffolk with the first-year keeper boasting a .683 save percentage.

LITTLE BIT 'BOUT THE LIONS
Emerson puts its perfect season on the line Tuesday when it takes on the Rams in a non-conference showdown.

Three of Emerson's five wins are shutouts, while one contest was decided in an extra time.  

Fourteen different players have contributed to the Lions' 35 total goals with seven players recording multi-goal efforts. Paige Haley has had a tremendous collegiate start, as the freshman forward has tallied seven goals and handed out three assists for 17 points. All four keepers on Emerson's roster have seen action in net, with Melanie Escobar playing the Lions' share of minutes in goal, posting a 3-0-0 record with nine saves and allowing one goal in 394 minutes played this year.

PROWL ON THE PRIDE
Regis, like Suffolk, is looking for its first win of the season, bringing a 0-3-1 record into Thursday's matchup. The Pride has dropped back-to-back contest after tying GNAC member Mount Ida, 2-2, September 5.

Joana Rose is responsible for the two Regis goals on the year, while Michaela Bouvette has credit with the team's lone assist on the season. Rachel Gagnon has seen all the action in goal for the Pride, totaling 40 saves in four games to own a 2.13 goals-against average and .816 save percentage.

BASICS ON THE BLUE JAYS
Shutting out Rivier in its last outing, the University of St. Joseph's brings a 2-2 record and 1-1 GNAC ledger in play this week. Morgan Skoly and Jaclyn Steeves pace the Blue Jays with four points each off of two tallies. Prior to taking the pitch on Saturday versus the Rams, the Blue Jays will face Western Connecticut State. Melissa Dodge owns all the minutes between the pipes, starting all four games and holding a .912 save percentage. Prior to taking the pitch versus the Rams, the Blue Jays will play at Western Connecticut State.

LOOKING AHEAD
Suffolk opens a four-game road swing Tuesday, Sept. 15 at Emerson. The Rams and Lions are scheduled for a 6 p.m. kick-off.
