LAST TIME OUT

Suffolk is off to a 2-2 start through its first four matches of the 2016 campaign, all of which the Rams have hosted at Buckingham, Browne & Nichols. In the final match of the season-opening homestand last Saturday, Suffolk dropped an 8-1 decision to an unbeaten Emerson squad.

The Rams started out with losses in the first two sets in doubles to start Saturday's match, but the pair of Kevin Clavijo and Jose Gonzalez came back to take an 8-2 victory in the final set over Emerson's Samir Beria and Matt Jepsky. The Lions went on to sweep Suffolk in singles play.
