"It is going to be real close for the top 20," said head tennis coach Ron Smarr. "We feel assured of a ranking between 21 and 40. But a lot of these teams in contention for good rankings are still playing. The SEC championships are not until May 13-15 for example." Rankings determine how many representatives each team can send to the NCAA championships, May 20-25 at Corpus Christi, Tex. Teams ranked in the top 20 send four singles players and two doubles teams. Teams ranked 21 through 40 send two singles players and one doubles team. Eight at-large teams are selected after the first 40 to complete a 48-team field. Smarr attributed the team's success to consistency. "After the match with North Carolina (Mar. 2) we played more consistently," Smarr said. "It seemed like every game we played four or live players always played to their White tops Gam in ?nrin & or? m p ft?

Four of this year's six players return for next season, and Smarr has signed two players he believes will be able to replace number one singles player Jeff Kefalos and number two singles player Andreas Hufschmid, who graduate in May. Steve Millert runner-up in the National Junior College Division singles competition this past year, and Peter McDonald, the highest ranked player Smarr has ever signed at USC, will join the team next season. McDonald, ranked 23rd in singles in the 18-year-old division, is expected to develop into a complete player.
