SUFFOLK SCORES

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk aims to snap a four-game winless streak that put the team at 2-11-2 on the season and 1-6-1 in CCC contests. 

Devin Lowe powers the Rams' 32-goal offense with a dozen points on a team-best nine helpers and three goals. Carter Schram sits second on the squad with an evenly divided eight-point stat line of four goals and four assists. Joe O'Brien has factored into the offensive conversation as well with one marker and six set-ups to his credit. 

CJ Hapward, a junior transfer at the semester break, has played both games this season thus far in 2024. He owns a 1.95 GAA and .944 save percentage in two games played.   

NOR'EASTER NOTES
UNE (10-2-2, 5-1-2 CCC) rides a 10-game unbeaten streak with five consecutive victories into Friday's tilt.  

The Nor'Easters have outscored their opponents by a 19-goal margin this season, but have not kept a foe off the scoreboard this year. 

Three different players have hit the double figure point plateau in Juraj Elias (3g, 9a), Anthony Sciucco (2g, 9a) and Ryan Kuzmich (5g, 5a) to lead UNE's 44-goal scoring unit. 

In net, Billy Girard IV has played the bulk of time. In 11 games, all starts, he has built a 1.97 GAA and .929 save percentage. Joe Stanizzi, meanwhile, has assembled a 1.00 GAA and .963 save percentage in his three appearances, all starts.
