RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk slipped up for the first time this season on the road Wednesday at Wellesley, 2-0, to move to 2-1-0 on the year. Both of the Rams victories came in shutout fashion and were played on the familiar turf in Eastie.  

The blue-and-gold has found the back of the twine four times this year. Lily Christian boasts the biggest offensive output individual as the freshman paces the pack in goals and points with two and five, respectively. Aislinn Servaes joins Christian as the only other player a goal and an assist to her credit. Her three-point line is evenly divided in half between goals (1) and helpers (1). Ashley Cassino-Henriquez (1g), Kylie Flynn (1a), Klaudia Rushi (1a) and Alex Stamatos (1a) have aided in Suffolk's scoring as well.  

Allison Rodrigues has played every minute in net. The senior has shutout two foes to hold a 0.67 GAA and .857 save percentage. 

LOOK AT THE LYNX
Lesley is unbeaten this year and enters Saturday showdown 4-0-1 after besting Thomas, 1-0, Tuesday, Sept. 7.  

Four different players have produced a pair of markers to anchor a 14-goal offense through four outings. Abby Kalou and Chloe Kouyoumdjian hold a squad-best five points behind identical two-goal, one-assist stat lines. Claire Hounslow and Courtney McCluskey found the back of the net twice, as well, while Kerrie Larson has spread the wealth with a team-best two set-ups. 

Both of Lesley's goalies haven taken the field this season. Audrey Calhoun has yet to let in a goal in her four appearances, while Lauren Lacy holds a 1.35 GAA and a .400 save percentage.
