Kansas tennis team earns highest ranking of the season

’Hawks earn highest ranking of season

The Kansas tennis team jumped 12 spots to No. 62 this week in the FILA women’s tennis rankings. It is the highest ranking of the season for the Jayhawks. After losing four matches in a row, Kansas is on a four-game winning streak. Its last four victories were against Southern, LSU, UMKC and Saint Louis. Three of those matches were 7-0 shutouts.

Kansas has eight matches remaining before the April 27 Big 12 Tournament in Waco, Texas.

Kansas’ current record is 9-6 and 0-3 in Big 12 Conference play. The team will play Oklahoma on Saturday and Iowa State on Sunday. Both matches are scheduled to take place at the Robinson Courts.
