News and Notes: The Dolphins were swept 3-0 earlier this season by the Bears, which snapped a four-match win streak against the Bears. That win was the first time the Dolphins fell to the Bears since a 3-0 defeat in the 2013 season. CSI has won just one of their last five matches and will look to rebound tonight and fall back into the win column. The Bears come into tonight's match on a two-match losing skid, however they have played well at home this season and have posted a 6-2 record at the Hill Center.
