MU's doubles tandem of Urska Juric and Katka Sevcikova have moved up one spot to 4th in the nation in the newly released ITA National Rankings. Stanford is ranked #1, and their only loss came at the hands of the Tigers at the National Indoors earlier this year.

The #4 ranking follows a very solid January and February for the team in general. In the ITA singles ranking, Juric has moved up from 29 to 26 in the nation. Both are all-time highs for the #46 Missouri Tennis Team.

Due to poor travel conditions, the Tigers Friday match vs. Louisville has been tentatively moved from 2:00PM to 7:00PM Friday night. On Saturday, the Tigers take on the #45 Colorado Buffaloes at 2:00PM. Both matches will be played at the Green Tennis Center. "I just hope both teams get in safely," said MU Coach Blake Starkey. "If people want to see something a little different, then they should drop by either Friday night or Saturday. The tennis is a lot of fun, and the team loves the crowd support."
