BOSTON – In one of the tightest races in recent weeks for Ram of the Week, close to 100 members of Ram Nation chose its best performance by a student-athlete over a seven-day stretch via a Twitter Poll.

AND THE WINNER IS … 

In a heated back-and-forth battle between Suffolk's men's and women's soccer teams, Hayley Long earned the title after capturing 49 percent of the 93 votes cast to slip past runner-up Nigel Leo, who picked up 41 percent of the nods.

Long helped the Rams to a 2-0-0 overall week which featured a 4-1 victory over Husson and a Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) 3-0 shutout over Nichols. The junior supplied offensive outputs in both of the triumphs. First against the Eagles the Exeter, New Hampshire, product had a career-night with a personal-best three-point effort. That performance included one goal and her first assist in a Suffolk jersey. Three days later, she extended her point streak with the game-winning goal over the Bison.
