To go along with her offensive output, the Falmouth, Massachusetts, product grabs 5.5 rpg, dishes out 4.0 apg and racks up 2.3 spg.
In the win versus Emerson, DiCecco poured in a game-high 21 points to lead Suffolk's attack. She shot 50 percent (8-16) from the floor to record with her fourth collegiate contest with 20-plus points and second in as many outings.
DiCecco and the Rams look to run their win streak to seven when they return to action after the New Year Saturday, Jan. 6 versus Pine Manor. Game time at Regan Gymnasium is set for 1 p.m.
