RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has strung together four victories to match its triumphs from a year ago, 15-6, and move to 6-1 against conference counterparts, which puts the blue-and-gold atop the league standings.
The Rams' 77.8 ppg offense sees five players produce double digit points in Thomas Duffy (15.3 ppg), Michael Hagopian (12.9 ppg), Brendan Mulson (12.9 ppg), Alex Jacovides (10.9 ppg) and Steven DiPrizio (10.6 ppg).
On the defensive end, Suffolk grabs 37.0 rpg as a team, outrebounding its foes by a 2.8 margin. DiPrizio's 7.1 rpg anchors the blue-and-gold with Duffy and Mulson providing 4.9 rpg and 4.8 rpg, respectively.

The Raiders are putting up 69.5 ppg with Nate Hale and Issaiah Chappell combining for nearly half that. Hale leads the way with 17.8 ppg while Chappell chips in 13.8 ppg.
