MEMPHIS, Tenn. – After a 4-1 month that included a win over No. 17 Ole Miss, the 25th-ranked Memphis Tigers men's tennis team was named the Division I UTR ITA Team of the Month for February.
The award, given by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), considers a team's rise in the Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR). Memphis increased its UTR by 0.92 after wins over Ole Miss, Clemson, Vanderbilt, and Arkansas. The Tigers' only loss in February was a narrow defeat at Mississippi State.
During the month, Memphis' James Story was particularly impressive.
