RUNDOWN ON THE RAMS
Suffolk, who is 2-6 on the road this season, 3-9 overall and 2-3 in GNAC action, is led offensively by Alexandra Nagri. The sophomore forward has found the back of the net six times and dished out one assist for a team-best 13 points, while her classmate Jennifer Martin is one point behind off a team-best four handouts and four scores. Nagri owns one game-winning tally with Jessica Harmon (3-1-7) having credit for the other.

Kirsten Weiker has seen all, but 18 minutes of action between the pipes through 12 games. The freshman keeper has made 86 saves (.677), which lands second amongst GNAC netminders, but has allowed 41 goals.

MENTIONABLES 'BOUT THE MONKS
Saint Joseph's is coming off a 4-3 double-overtime loss at Albertus Mangus Saturday. After going ahead  3-0, the Falcons rattled of three tallies over 19 minutes and sunk the game-winner in the second extra session to push the Monks' record to 6-6 overall and 3-2 in GNAC play.

Four Monks have tallied double-digit efforts already this season with Haley DeGraca's 19 leading the way. The midfielder has notched a team-best six scores and passed out three assists. Hannah LeBlanc (7-3-17), Desiree Parent (5-2-12) and Colleen Sheehan (2-6-10) round out Saint Joseph's players with double-digit points while six other players have recorded a point in 2015.

In net, Brooke Troup holds the majority of minutes and sits at 4-5 overall with two shutouts to her credit. Troup has made 54 saves (.761) and allowed 17 scores for a 2.00 goals-against average. Michelle Cunha has seen action in seven contests with two stars to boast a .833 save percentage with 20 saves and four goals-allowed (1.02 GAA).

Saint Joseph's is outscoring teams, 30-21, overall, while outshooting teams, 258-179, including 133-96 shots on target. 

HAT TRICKS
Alexandra Nagri's career-high, three-goal game at the University of Saint Joseph's marks the first time a player in blue-and-gold recorded a hat trick since Taylor Miranda '14 had one to her credit in a 5-0 shutout over Norwich in 2013.
