RAMS RUNDOWN
After its 3-0 setback to Salve Regina, Suffolk men's soccer slipped to 4-4-0 on the season. All four of the Rams' wins have come on the friendly pitch in Eastie. 

Nigel Leo's 11 points anchor Suffolk's scoring as the graduate has had a hand in six of the Rams' 16 goals with five markers himself and one assist. Miguel Varela is a consistent contributor as well with four goals and one helper, while Edward Abouzeid has a team-best seven set-ups. 

Suffolk has shuffled through a handful of keepers. Xander Balog has built a 1.98 GAA and .636 save percentage in four starts, the most action by the Rams' goaltending contingent. Tom Bennett (2.00 GAA, .429 save %) and Alfredo Serrano Figueroa (1.59 GAA, .667 save %) have each taken the field on two occasions to defend between the blue-and-gold's posts.

LOOK AT THE LYNX
Lesley has yet to find the win column this season as it brings a 0-8-0 record into Tuesday's tilt. 

The Lynx have been outscored 37-1 through eight outings. Daniel Monteserin is responsible for Lesley's only strike, an unassisted tally that came in the team's last outing, a 5-1 setback at New England College.

Michael Bolduc (6 GP, 4.49 GAA, .594 save %) and Josiah Williams (3 GP, 3.86 GAA, .526 save %) have split time as the Lynx keeper this season.
