LAST TIME OUT
Jenni-Rose DiCecco matched a 21-year-old scoring record, it wouldn't be enough as Suffolk women's basketball was sluggish from the floor to slip to Roger Williams, 66-49, in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action at the Campus Rec Center Tuesday night.

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk moved to 6-3 on the year after falling at Roger Williams, 66-49, Tuesday, Dec. 7.  

The Rams rely on Jenni-Rose DiCecco on both sides of the ball as she paves the way offensively with 14.6 ppg and 4.7 apg and is a consistent contributor on the defensive end with 5.1 rpg and 3.6 spg. Her classmates, Gabriella DeComo pitches in 8.2 ppg, while seniors Allie Lopes (9.7 ppg, 4.6 rpg), Natalie Fraioli (8.2 rpg) and Emily Welling (7.8 rpg) are forces on both sides of the ball as well. 

FALCONS FACTS
Fisher has fallen in four straight to hold a 3-7 overall record.  

The trio of Misha O'Neal, Alexia Mason and Tatiana Bruno is the true force for the Falcons. The threesome combines for 44.6 of Fishers' 61.0 ppg. O'Neal's 17.6 ppg leads the way with Mason and Bruno following suit with 14.6 ppg and 12.4 ppg, respectively. 

The same can be said for the effort on the glass with Mason grabbing a team-high 8.1 rpg and O'Neil pitching in 6.0 rpg. The duo is responsible for 40.4 percent (14.1) of the team's 34.9 rpg effort.
