RAMS REVIEW
Suffolk, who enter Tuesday on a two-match win streak, sits 11-5 on the year, its best record through 16 matches since going 14-2 in 1997.

The Rams success is thanks in large part to its 10.16 kps offense, which is powered by Hannah Fabiano's 2.69 kps. Kayla Barbara and Sarah Mullahy are also consistent contributors to the attack with 1.98 kps and 1.86 kps, respectively. Harmony Johnson has set up the offense with 7.78 aps.  

Defensively, Kenzley Bell leads the way with 4.07 dps. Dakhensey Marcellus pitches in 3.55 dps. At the net, Stephanie Rheaume (0.46 bps) and Mullahy (0.45 bps) pace the pack.

FLYING WITH THE HAWKS
Becker, who opened the season with five wins in a row, has dropped its last nine matches to head into Tuesday's tilt 5-9 overall. 

Teddie Flynn is a contributor on both sides of the ball with a team-high 2.19 kps and sits second on the squad in dps with 3.35. Morgan Gould adds 2.14 kps to the offense and 2.50 dps to the defense. Sofia Cullina, meanwhile, holds down the defensive unit with 4.10 dps. Setting wise, Jenna Savoie (5.53 aps) and Olivia McGuinness (3.56 aps) split the action.
