RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has been playing close contest as of late. The Rams have fallen in a pair of 4-3 setbacks to Simmons and Emerson and captured its first win of the season, a 7-2 triumph over Western New England, in between the losses, to sit 1-9 on the year.  

The Rams loser half of the order have anchored the blue-and-gold in singles play. Elene Nishniandize, who is primarly in the sixth slot, and Chloe Pszenny, who mostly plays at No. 5, are both 5-6. Rachel Hill, the go-to No. 4, is 3-7, as well as Suffolk's ace Caren Urbano.

The doubles duo of Hill and Nia Bebb are the most successful with a 4-5 ledger exclusively in the second spot. Pszenny and Nishniandize have combined as the third tandem in the last three outings and are 2-1. Urbano has partnered with Megha Tenneti as the top team in every contest this year. The freshman and grad student are 1-9. 

CORSAIRS CATCHUP
UMass Dartmouth dipped to 6-7 after falling to Salem State, 5-4, Tuesday.  

Maddie Gonzalez has played all, but one match in the top singles spot for the Corsairs. She is 5-7. Emma Collings is the winningest singles racquet at 7-3 all in the third spot. Saige Croce is also a threat in singles paly with a 5-8 record with time at No. 3 (0-1), No. 4 (1-1) and No. 5 (4-6). 

In doubles, Gonzalez and Collings are the usual No. 1 team. That pair has combined for a 6-3 record, the best of all tandems for UMD.
