SUFFOLK SCORES

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has stormed out of the gates, winning the first four games of its campaign for the first time in program history to enter CCC play 4-0-0 overall. The four-game win streak ties a program record for the Rams. The last time the blue-and-gold won four in a row was Jan. 17-26, 2019.  

The winning ways is thanks in large part to Suffolk's scoring as the Rams average 4.75 goals per game. Shana Cotehas hit the double-digit point mark in just four games behind a team-best six goals and four helpers. Sofia Scilipoti is on the heels of Cote with nine points behind five markers and four helpers. Madison Duff has also set-up four scores. 

Three different goal keepers have defended between the pipes this season. Hannah Gordon has the most action under her belt with two complete games in which she built a 1.50 GAA and .923 save percentage. Julia McLellan has seen time in two games as well with one start. She holds a 2.99 GAA and .889 save percentage. 

COLONELS CATCHUP 
In its first true season, Curry holds a 1-3-0 overall record and a 1-1-0 league ledger with its lone victory coming in shutout fashion at Western New England (3-0) in its last outing.  

The Colonels have lit the lamp seven times over its first two weekends. Asher Printzen and Paige Rodrigues anchor the attack with four points apiece with evenly divided, identical stat lines of two goals and two assists. Grayson Goolgasian has multiple points as well with three on two helpers and one mark.  

Ella Campbell and Anna Langton have split time in net. Langton, who is responsible for Curry's only win, brings in a 2.00 GAA and .930 save percentage, while Campbell boasts a 2.54 GAA and .884 save percentage.
