Huskies Continue Up The ITA RankingsBoth the Husky men's and women's tennis teams hit new season-high marks in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national rankings this afternoon. Washington is one of just fourteen programs to have both its men's and women's teams in the Top-25. The women moved up one spot to 18th following wins over Sacramento State and Minnesota last weekend, both of which were ranked. This is the highest ranking for the women since 2005 when they were ranked as high as 8th. Currently, sophomore Denise Dy is ranked fourth in the national singles rankings and junior Venise Chan ranks 14th. Dy and senior Joyce Ardies are the NCAA's 6th-ranked doubles team. The men jumped two spots this week up to No. 23 coming off a win over then-No. 36 Notre Dame on Saturday. Last week's individual rankings saw junior Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan get back towards the top of the charts as he came in at No. 51. He then upset 28th-ranked Casey Watt of Notre Dame to pick up some more rankings points. Juniors Alex Rosinski and Tobi Obenaus are also ranked 42nd in doubles. Both UW teams are on the road this week, with the 9-1 men heading to Oregon and the 7-1 women going farther south to California for non-conference duals. Complete rankings are available here.
