RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk's 81-65 setback at Albertus Magnus put the Rams at 6-5 overall and 1-1 in league play.
The Rams' 71.7 ppg is paced by the duo of Thomas Duffy and Michael Hagopian. Duffy contributes 16.7 ppg with Hagopian registering 15.2 ppg.
Brendan Mulson, who adds 9.8 ppg to the offensive effort, leads the way defensively as the freshman grabs 5.5 rpg. Kevin Querusio is second on the squad with 4.8 rpg with Duffy chipping in 4.0 rpg to Suffolk's 32.9 rpg total.
CADETS CATCHUP
Norwich held off Saint Joseph's (Maine) Saturday, 75-72, to improve to 3-7 on the season and 1-1 versus conference competition.
The Cadets, who have won two straight, average 72.0 ppg as a squad with Jesse Davis' 13.8 ppg pacing the well-balanced offense. Seniors Ryan Booth and Joe Bertrand tally 11.7 ppg and 11.0 ppg, respectively, with Mike Hogervorst's 10.6 ppg rounding out the four Norwich players averaging double figures.
Booth is the main ingredient to the Cadets' 31.5 rpg with the guard pulling down 5.3 rpg. Bertrand (4.8 rpg) and Hogervorst (4.2 rpg) are also consistent factors on the glass for Norwich.
INSIDE THE SERIES
Suffolk split the two regular-season meetings with Norwich last year to make up ground in the all-time series, which the Rams trail, 17-24.
