The College of Staten Island women’s tennis team is back on the courts today, and will resume CUNYAC play with a date against Lehman College at the CSI Tennis Center at 1:00pm. The Dolphins snapped a two-game skid against William Paterson on Thursday and will look to continue the momentum this afternoon.

Players To Watch (LC): Lynessa George has been a true bright spot for Lehman this season, sporting a 5-1 record spread over second and third singles. Kanto Rasedoara has won a couple of flights in the third position as well.
News and Notes: CSI was without two of its normal starters on Thursday in Viktoriya Volkova and Michelle Kushnir and both are expected back in the lineup. Rasedoara was Lehman’s only winner last year in the 8-1 CSI win. CSI is currently tied with Hunter for the No. 2 position in the conference standings, with Lehman planted behind them in fourth place. The top seven teams make the playoffs in late October.
