SUFFOLK SCORES

RAMS RUNDOWN
Thanks to its sweep of Wentworth, Suffolk returned to the win column for the first time since Dec. 1, 2023. The pair of victories pushed the blue-and-gold to 4-12-2 on the year and 3-7-1 in CCC play.  

Devin Lowe has been crucial to the Rams' offense this season as the graduate student has team-leading numbers in points (16) and assists (12). The forward has supplied four goals to the team's 43-goal offensive output. Nick Liotino(4g, 4a), Joe O'Brien (2g, 6a) and Carter Schram (4g, 4a) share second on the squad with eight points each. Scott McManus (5g, 1a), Cole Scott (5g, 1a) and Ryan Webb (5g) have all found the back of the net a team-best five times.  

Junior transfer CJ Hapward has been the only goalie to see time in net this season. In five games he has built a 2-2-1 record behind a 1.78 GAA and .948 save percentage. 

GET TO KNOW THE GULLS
Endicott swept Nichols in a CCC home-and-home series last week to move to 10-4-4 on the year and 7-2-2 versus CCC counterparts.  

Andrew Kurapov anchors the Gulls scoring with 22 points on eight goals and 14 assists. He is the lone skater with 20-plus points to his credit, while Jackson Sterrett (10g, 9a), Zach Mazur (6g, 10), Ryan Willett (3g, 13a). Michael Casey (5g, 10a) and Kevin Craig (3g, 7a) have all hit the double figure point plateau.

EYES ON THE GAME

SALUTE THE TROOPS
Suffolk men's and women's hockey will skate in honor of those who have and are serving the armed forces with Military Appreciation Games next weekend, Feb. 2-3 at Louis E. Porrazzo Memorial Skating Rink.  

Ram Nation's Salute to the Troops begins with the women's contest Friday, Feb. 2 at 6:00 p.m. against the University of New England, with the recognition contests set to wrap up with the men's action Saturday, Feb. 3 at 5:00 p.m. versus Nichols.
