EYES ON THE MATCH
RECORD WATCH
Suffolk's seniors have a chance to make the Rams' record books this season.
Harmony Johnson looks to be the program's all-time leader in assists and is just 140 handouts away from tying the mark held by Julia Sullivan (1821 assist), who wore the blue-and-gold from 2007-10.
Kenzley Bell, meanwhile, aims to join the 1,000-dig club and is 57 digs away from being the third Suffolk student-athlete to do so, first since Dakhensey Marcellus accomplished the feat in 2010.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Suffolk makes the trip up to New Paltz, New York, this weekend for the Hawks Invitational. Over Oct. 7-8, the Rams will take on Misericordia (Oct. 7), SUNY New Paltz (Oct. 8) and Manhattanville (Oct. 8).
