RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk sits 1-5 on the season with its lone win coming in sweeping fashion at Curry April 8.  

Nicholas Komari has played every match as the Rams ace. The freshman is 3-3 on the year to be the most victorious blue-and-gold racket in singles play. Mehdi Mered sports a 2-3 ledger in the second slot, while Sam Kluger (2-2) and Matthew Gallego (2-4) have two wins apiece as well. Kluger has split time at second and third, while Gallego has competed at No. 4 and No. 5. 

In doubles action, the twosome of Gallego and Komari are the only pair to own a win. The senior and rookie partnership is 1-2 as Suffolk's top tandem.  

LIONS LOOK
Eastern Nazarene brings a 9-7 overall record after blanking Saint Joseph (Conn.) Saturday, April 6. 

Luis Hernandez holds the hottest singles racket for the Lions at 10-3, seeing time on every singles court except No. 1. Dmitrii Semenov has played the most as ENC's ace and sports a 9-5 overall record including an 8-3 mark from the first singles spot.
