The Dores hold the No. 48 spot in the latest ITA rankings, with freshman Danil Panarin ranked No. 72 nationally in singles.

South Carolina
The Gamecocks (11-10, 4-5 SEC) split their matches last weekend, picking up a 4-3 win over Georgia and dropping Sunday’s match to Tennessee 0-4. Two of South Carolina’s student-athletes are featured in this week’s ITA singles rankings, as well as one of their doubles pairs.
