RAMS RUNDOWN
 Suffolk looks to break up a three-match skid that put the Rams at 1-6 on the year and 0-4 in CCC contests. 

The Rams line-up has not changed in the first spot in singles and doubles. Caren Urbano (3-4) has played exclusively as the blue-and-gold's ace and makes up one part of the top tandem along with Rachel Hill. That duo is 2-5, along with senior captains Alyssa Blade and Bianca Prescott, who compete in the second slot.

FIGHTING SCOTS FACTS
 Gordon (1-8, 0-5 CCC) has managed to find the win column just once this season, in non-conference play versus Plymouth State, a 5-4 thriller Oct. 3.

Three different Fighting Scots have seen time at the top spot in Abbigail Fournier (0-3), Caroline Hemer (0-1) and Annette Kim (4-1), who is the most successful singles player. Kim and Helmer have partnered up as Gordon's top duo and combined for a 4-4 mark.  

INSIDE THE SERIES

  • Suffolk sits 0-2 all-time versus Gordon. 
  • The Fighting Scots have outscored the Rams, 13-5, all-time. 
  • Last year, Gordon defeated Suffolk, 7-2, Oct. 16, 2021. 
  • The last time the Rams and Fighting Scots met in Wenham, Massachusetts, was in the series opener, Sept. 17, 2012, a 6-3. 
  • Suffolk has taken on Gordon as the home (0-1) and away (0-1) team once. 
  • There has never been a shutout in the series.  

BISON BREAKDOWN
 Nichols has won four in a row, three of which are sweeps, to head into the week 5-3 on the year in 4-2 versus CCC opponents. 

Antonia Carrero is the Bison's ace. She is 4-3 in singles this year. She also has played all of the doubles matches as part of the top team and brings in a 4-3 record when playing with a partner. 

Charis Vogler is a student-athlete to keep an eye on. She has taken home five of the league's six CCC Rookie of the Week nods and moved from third to first court doubles and third to second slot singles. On both courts she sports a 6-1 record.

INSIDE THE SERIES

  • Suffolk sits 0-2 all-time versus Nichols.
  • Last season the Rams and Bison renewed a rivalry, meeting for the first time since 1994.
  • Suffolk fell to Nichols, 8-1, in the last meeting, Oct. 6,
  • The Rams will host the Bison for the first time since the inaugural meeting, Oct. 27, 1994, which ended 5-4 in Nichols' favor.
