RAMS RUNDOWN
Behind its 2-0 overtime win at Roger Williams Tuesday, Suffolk moved to 11-5-0 on the year. The 11 victories are the most under Ashley Van Vechten's guidance and share second in the Rams' record books for the most wins in a single season with the 2016 squad (11-10-0). 

Allison Rodrigues has been a main part to Suffolk's success. The senior keeper has kept eight of the Rams' 16 opponents off the scoreboard this year. She boasts a 0.68 GAA and .899 save percentage. 

Offensively, four players have produced double-digit points for Suffolk's well-balanced 35-goal offense. Lily Christian powers that pack with 15 points on an evenly divided stat line between goals (5) and assists (5). Aislinn Servaes (5g, 3a) and Hayley Long (5g, 2a) have each found the back of the net five times as well and sport 13 points and 12 points, respectively. Nicole Morin-Trotta (4g, 3a) rounds out the quartet with 11 points.

FIGHTING SCOTS FACTS
Roger Williams wrapped up its regular-season with a scoreless, double overtime draw to Curry to hold a 12-3-1 overall mark. 

Six Fighting Scots picked up All-CCC recognition highlighted by a pair of first-team honorees in Calla Ashley and McKenan Feller. Ashley has powered Gordon's offense with team-high numbers in every category with nine goals, four assists for 23 points. Feller, meanwhile, provided 11 points to the offense, while holding down the field. Shelby Jones, an all-conference second-team honoree, is a consistent contributor to the scoring as well with 18 points on seven strikes and four helpers. 

Tori Paine has played the bulk of time in net for Gordon. She holds a 0.73 GAA and .800 save percentage over 13 appearances, 10 starts. Kaarinne Walther (0.00 GAA, 1.000 save %) has yet to allow a goal in her eight games played.
