Massachusetts Tennis Drops Match At Syracuse, 4-0 – University of Massachusetts Athletics
Syracuse closely notched the doubles point to begin the contest. After the duo of Mariya Krasakova and Alexandra O’Brien fell 6-2 to the Orange’s Viktoriya Kanapatskaya and Emilie Elde at No. 3 doubles, the Minutewomen promptly got one back on court No. 2. Ella Faessler and Amelia Tye defeated Constance Levivier and Anastasia Sysoeva of Syracuse, 6-2 at second singles. On court No. 3, Danielle Hack and Thamonpan Jonglertrakul lost a tightly contested, 7-5 match to Syracuse’s Ines Fonte and Polina Kozyreva to go 0-1 into singles play.
The Orange claimed wins at No. 5, No. 4, and No. 2 singles to clinch the “first to four victories” match. On courts No. 1 and No. 3, Hack and Jonglertrakul were both up in the second set after losing the first; before both matches ultimately went unfinished. At No. 6 singles, Polina Akimova was down 6-5, 0-1 to Syracuse’s Levivier prior to that match also going unfinished.
Massachusetts takes a break before returning to action for two matches on Saturday, March 2 and Sunday, March 3. The Minutewomen visit Dartmouth on Saturday for a 12:30 p.m. match in Hanover, New Hampshire, before welcoming LIU on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Bay Road Indoor Tennis Center.

Life Care Center of Raynham has received a deficiency‑free inspection result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a distinction awarded to a small share of the state’s licensed nursing homes, according to a community announcement.
The inspection was conducted as part of the state’s routine, unannounced nursing home survey process overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These comprehensive, multi‑day inspections evaluate multiple aspects of facility operations, including staffing levels, quality of care, medication management, cleanliness, food service and resident rights.
State survey records show that Life Care Center of Raynham met required standards during its most recent standard survey, with no deficiencies cited, based on publicly available state data.
The announcement states that fewer than 8% of Massachusetts nursing homes achieve deficiency‑free survey results. That figure could not be independently verified through state or federal data and is attributed to the announcement.
In addition to the state survey outcome, the facility is listed as a five‑star provider for quality measures on the federal Medicare Care Compare website. The five‑star quality measure rating reflects above‑average performance compared with other nursing homes nationwide, according to federal rating methodology.
Officials said the inspection results reflect ongoing compliance with state and federal standards designed to protect resident health and safety. According to the announcement, the outcome is attributed to staff performance and internal quality practices.
