RUNDOWN ON THE RAMS
For the first time this season, the Suffolk women's tennis team picked up its third straight win when it downed Anna Maria, 8-1, to move to 5-7 on the season and 2-1 against conference competition. 

Three-time GNAC Corvias Player of the Week, Valentina Medina has continued to power the Rams forward on both courts. In singles, she is 26-1 in singles matches throughout her two-year collegiate career and is perfect in dual competition, 26-0, exclusively at the first and second courts. This season, Medina holds an 11-1 mark – 5-0 at No. 1 and 6-0 at No. 2 – with her lone loss coming in the ITA New England Regionals. 

In doubles, the junior has had three different partners and boasts an 11-2 record. In dual action, she and her Ram teammates are 10-1 in dual play all as Suffolk's top tandem. 

Aidiana Sagyndykova is also unbeaten in singles dual action. The senior is 7-0 on court one and 3-0 in the second spot.  

WILDCAT WAYS
Johnson and Wales is coming off a 9-0 triumphant sweep of Simmons. The Wildcats are the first GNAC team to take down the Sharks in more than a decade. JWU boasts an unblemished 8-0 record and sits atop the league standings at 3-0. Five of the Wildcats victories came in cleansheets, while the other three were 8-1 decisions. 

WHAT'S NEXT?
Suffolk caps off its home regular-season schedule Monday, Oct. 10 when it entertains St. Joseph (Conn.). Prior to the 3 p.m. first serve, the Rams will honor the playing careers of its graduates, Medina, Sagyndykova and Eugenia Skorobogatova
