LUBBOCK, Texas - The Texas Tech men's tennis team moved to No. 10 in the country in the latest ITA Division I men's tennis rankings. The Red Raiders cracked the top 10 for the first time in school history.
The Red Raiders (18-1 overall, 0-1 Big 12) moved two spots after being ranked No. 12 in last week's rankings. The rankings are determined by the ITA point-per-match computer formula.
