The College of Staten Island women's tennis team fell for the first time this season, dropping a road, non-conference test at the hands of Richard Stockton College by an 8-1 count.  The Ospreys lifted their overall mark to 7-2 while the Dolphins fell to 6-1.

CSI registered their one and only point of the contest via No. 2 Doubles, where the team of Jean Baak and Nozima Toshpulatova earned a hard-fought, 8-5, winner over RSC's Colleen Anderson and Scout Bauer.  The Ospreys Krystle Bendijo and Syndi Fahringer out-did CSI's Sabrina Bragerton-Nasert and Sophia Varriano in the top spot, 8-3, while Brynn Buechler and Gianna Letinski scored an 8-1 winner over CSI's Jacqueline Jamaleddine and Michelle Kushnir.

When play switched to singles, the Ospreys held control.  RSC won the pole position and flights 2, 4, 5, 6 in straight sets.  Jean Baak at No. 3 Singles was a force, losing a tough three-set marathon to RSC's Kristy Faren, 5-7, 6-4, 10-6.

?CSI will try to get back in the win column when they face off against John Jay College on Saturday at the CSI Tennis Center at 1pm.
