The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) released the first rankings of 2015 on the 6th. The men's team came in at No. 52 after finishing last year at No. 55. To get to the NCAA tournament, their ranking will need to improve to about No. 40 so they have some work to do. The women's team was ranked at No. 12. I was hoping for a top ten spot but this year's women's team competiton is very close and they could easilty jump up in the top ten once the season gets underway.
In the men's singles, freshman Piotr Lomacki was ranked at No. 56. He had a few wins over some ranked players during the fall season so this was no surprise. He will continue to climb this season. He was the only player to be ranked in the singles or doubles rankings from the men's team.
The women had a great showing in the rankings where FIVE players made it into the singles rankings: Stephanie Wagner (No. 7), Sinead Lohan (No. 39), Wendy Zhang (No. 58), Clementina Riobueno (No. 88) and Lina Lileikite (94). In the doubles rankings, they had three ranked teams; Lileikite/Wagner (No. 8), Riobueno/Albuquerque (No. 15) and Lohan/Zhang (No. 37). What's great about this is that of these players, only Riobueno and Lileikite are seniors. This team si going to do amazing things in the very near future.
