RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk sits 1-4 on the year and 0-2 in CCC contests. The Rams lone win came over St. Joseph (Conn.), 6-3, Sept. 19.  

The Rams have scored just nine points through five matches. Caren Urbano's and Rachel Hill's racquets have played a part in four of those victories apiece. Both have won two singles matches and have teamed up as Suffolk's top tandem for a 2-3 mark. Urbano is 2-3 in singles, exclusively as the blue-and-gold's ace, while Hill sports an identical record with action on the fourth (2-2) and fifth (0-1) courts, respectively.   

GET TO KNOW THE GOLDEN BEARS
Western New England is 2-2 on the year and 2-1 in CCC contests. The Golden Bears wins came over Curry and Gordon, both by identical 5-4 scores.

Aliza McLeish (1-3) has played all four matches as WNE's ace, but it's the second singles player, Arriana Hasiuk, who has been the most successful with a team-best 3-1 record. In doubles, Hasiuk and McLeish partner for the top tandem and sport a 2-2 record. Gianna Arace and Dani Martinez-Duran are also 2-2 in doubles play, competing together in all four matches as the third duo.
