GILBERT, Ariz. | The Georgia College & State University men's and women's tennis teams are both listed in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division II Computerize Rankings.

The objective of the ITA Rankings is to accurately reflect team and player performance occurring solely within sanctioned college tennis dual matches and tournaments and solely within one given academic season. The ITA Rankings Algorithm is based on an accumulation of win points and loss points, accounting for a win-loss record, the strength of schedule, and the depth/significance of wins and losses. As the season progresses, the value of each win and loss adjusts to reflect the most recent ranking of the opponent. The ITA rankings is for publicity purposes only and is not used in the selection process for the NCAA Division II postseason.

The Bobcats, who are 11-1 this season, are ranked 32nd in the men's computerized rankings with 20.14 points. GCSU will host 25th-ranked Lander University in a pivotal Peach Belt Conference match Friday (March 29) at 3 p.m. at the Centennial Center Tennis Courts. They will close out the weekend against another ranked opponent - No. 4 Valdosta State University - Sunday (March 30) at 2 p.m. in Valdosta, Georgia.

GCSU, which are 12-2 this season, entered the women's computerized rankings for the first time this year at No. 48 with 11.59 points. The Bobcats will hit the road Thursday (March 27) with a 2 p.m. match against No. 30 Erskine College in Due West, South Carolina. They will also face Valdosta State Sunday (March 30) on the road at 2 p.m.
