Sullo, a native of Dartmouth, Mass. and a graduate of Bishop Stang High School, batted .500 with a double and triple in two games last week for Head Coach Bob Corradi’s squad, as he rapped out four hits in a 9-6 triumph over Gordon last Tuesday night in a rare collegiate night game.

Correia, a native of Dartmouth, Mass. and a graduate of Dartmouth High School, earned her first two collegiate victories while recording a 5.00 goals against average and a .667 saves percentage in a pair of wins for Head Coach Leslie Bushy’s Buccaneers, including 11 saves in an 11-6 MASCAC victory over MCLA and nine stops in an 11-4 triumph over Wheelock.
