TEMPE, Ariz. – The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced the 2019-20 Preseason ITA Division I Men's Individual National Rankings on Tuesday and ranked the University of Tulsa's Kody Pearson No. 96 overall.
This is the sophomore's highest ranking of his career. He was last ranked 117th in the March 19th national poll.
During his freshman campaign, the Australian compiled an 18-13 overall record in singles play, including a 2-4 mark against nationally-ranked foes. In doubles competition, Pearson ended the year going 15-11 overall.
Pearson primarily saw action at No. 4 singles last season, where he went 7-4. In doubles play, he primarily played with fellow sophomore Daniel Siddall splitting time between the No. 2 and No. 3 slots. The duo went 9-5 overall, including 5-1 mark in the No. 3 slot.
