RUNDOWN ON THE RAMS
Suffolk's ledger dipped to 2-7 after the Rams suffered their fifth 5-4 setback of the season Wednesday. 

The Rams' top duo of Aidiana Sagyndykova and Valentina Medina continue their strong seasons as both are undefeated in dual match singles play. Medina is 9-0, while Sagyndykova is 8-0 with the duo splitting time as Suffolk's No. 1 and No. 2. The pair competed individually at the ITA New England Regionals last weekend, but both Rams were not able to capture a victory. Medina suffered her first setback of her collegiate career. 

On the doubles courts, Medina has teamed up with three different partners, but has been the most dominate with her co-captain senior Sagyndykova. The twosome earned a victory at the ITA Regionals, but was defeated in the second round to hold a 4-1 ledger this season.  She has also shined with Isabel Rathlev. The pair is unbeaten (4-0) exclusively on court one. 

FALCONS FACTS

Velazco partners with Alicia Weaver for the Falcons' top tandem, who sits at 1-3. Sabino and Kelsea Wildman's 2-1 ledger in the seconds spot is Albertus Magnus' best doubles record.
