GREENVILLE, S.C. - The Furman men's tennis team broke into the national rankings with a 72nd-place mark in the most recent ITA poll, released today.

Last week, the Paladins ended non-conference play with a 7-0 sweep of Charlotte. Furman's non-conference schedule has been a tough road, with nine of the team's 14 opponents sporting national rankings.

The doubles team of Andy Juc and Chris Motes remains ranked at #58 in the ITA doubles rankings.

The Paladins will resume Southern Conference play Wednesday as they host The Citadel at 3:00 p.m.
