The Lowdown: Beantown Throwdown...sort of
The last NESCAC non-conference game of the 2012-2013 season features a pair of Boston(ish) schools. In one corner we have the Tufts of Jumbo  from (the suburbs of) Boston representing the NESCAC. In the other corner, we have the Rams of Suffolk from Beacon Hill representing the ECAC Northeast.

Suffolk has played two NESCAC opponents this season, losing to both Colby and Bowdoin in the Bodwoin/Colby Tournament back in November. Tufts blanked the ECAC-NE Wentworth Leopards earlier this month in Boston.

Key(s) to the game: Boston Breakout
Neither the Rams nor Jumbos are exactly stalwarts on defense. Expect to see a high shooting, possibly high scoring game, with a hot goalie potentially being the deciding factor. 

Players to watch
Dylan Plimmer  (F, Sr.) The senior from Arizona had two goals against Middlebury on Saturday and has two points (1-1-2) in two career games against Suffolk.

Tim Sprague   (F, So.) The sophomore Ram is having a breakout season, leading the Suffolk in goal scoring (13-5-18). 

We mistakenly said last night's Williams/Wentworth game was the last NESCAC game in Boston. Tonight really IS the last game in Boston. In honor of this potentially high scoring affair, we present Boston's own Street Dogs with a live version of "Boston Breakout"
