---- — VIENNEAU SETS MARK AT SUFFOLK

Central Catholic alum Jacqueline Vienneau continues her amazing assault on the womens basketball record book at Suffolk University.

Most recently, in a win over Norwich University, Vienneau, of Salem, N.H., recorded four assists, making it 398 for her career to take over as Suffolk’s all-time leader.

Earlier in the year, Vienneau topped the 1,000-point scoring mark for the Rams. With 20 points against Norwich, Vienneau now has 1,094 points, good for 10th on Suffolk’s all-time list.

With 471 career rebounds to date, Vienneau is on pace to become the first Suffolk woman to join the 1,000-point, 500-rebound, 300-assist club.
