Akaki Dundua squared off on a court three and was able to easily defeat his opponent 6-1, 6-0 to add another point to the Dolphins' lead.
Players To Watch (LC): Michael Forte and Jeff Lecitona are recently coming off of an 8-1 victory in their doubles match against York College.  Forte plays in the number one spot for the Lightning and will look to continue his recent success this afternoon.
News & Notes:  The Dolphins and Lightning took to the courts in April of last year in the CUNYAC Quarterfinals.  The Lightning were able to knock off the Dolphins 5-2 before advancing to the CUNYAC Semifinals.  Staten Island has played better on the road this season as they boast a 2-1 road record while just a 1-2 record on their own courts. Conversely the Lightning have yet to win a match on the road this season, with their lone win coming on their home court against York College.
