RECORD WATCH 
Suffolk's seniors have made the Rams' record book already this year.  

Harmony Johnson became the program's all-time leader in assists on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at Roger Williams. She surprised Julia Sullivan's previous mark of 1,821 handouts, that has been atop the Rams' leader board since 2010. Johnson holds 1,839 career assists to her credit and aims to be the first Ram to hit the 2,000-assist mark.  

Kenzley Bell, meanwhile, joined the 1,000-dig club on Saturday, Oct. 8 versus Manhattanville. She became just the third Suffolk student-athlete to do so, first since Dakhensey Marcellus accomplished the feat in 2020. Now, the Lake Park, Georgia, native is inching into second-place on the all-time digs list as she is 30 away from upstaging Marcellus' mark of 1,074.

The Rams will entertain the Nor'Easters Tuesday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. before honoring its seniors before its battle with the Bison Saturday, Oct. 29 at 11:00 a.m.
