I looked over 1-10 a few days ago so today I’ll look at the teams that finished the year ranked between 11-15.The new recruits section is from tennisrecruiting.net and from school releases so its possible some of those guys may not end up where they are currently showing.

After a wild and crazy first round of the NCAA Tournament, we had a more tame second round with 9 of the 16 matches being shutouts. 14 of the top 16 seeds advanced with Columbia and South Florida pulling off the mild upsets. #17 Columbia punched its second ever ticket to the Round of 16 with a 4-1 win over #14 Ole Miss.
