Bridget Allison continues to be a force for Suffolk's offense as the freshman sports a team-best 1.85 kps. Chidera Nwankwo has shined throughout play as of late for the Rams as the first-year adds 1.66 kps off a team-best .201 hitting clip. Rookie Talia Lombardo contributes on both sides of the net leading the team in digs (3.36 dps) and turns in 1.58 kps. Liz Kerek has been Suffolk's staple setter as the sophomore hands out 4.36 aps. Nwanwko excels at the net as the Rams with 0.47 bps.
RADAR ON THE RAIDERS
Unlike the Rams, Rivier is on a three-match win streak that moved its record to 13-4 overall and 2-0 against GNAC opponents.
