Green Wave check in at No. 36 in this week’s Oracle/ITA poll

ORACLE/ITA TEAM RANKINGS

NEW ORLEANS – The Tulane women's tennis team made the third biggest jump in this week's Oracle/ITA updated team national rankings, checking at No. 36. The top-40 ranking marks their highest spot in the polls in the post-Katrina era.

The Green Wave are off to one of their best starts with a 13-4 record, already sitting just seven wins shy of what would be the most victories under nine-year head coach Terri Sisk.

Highlights of the first half of the spring season include a 2-0 start against conference opponents with wins over Houston and South Florida, and the program's first top-30 win in the post-Katrina era with a 4-3 victory over No. 28 LSU.

The No. 36 Green Wave will look to build upon its new national ranking this weekend when they challenge UAB on the road on Sunday, March 5, at Noon CT.
