Tulsa in the ITA Rankings
- Tulsa's No. 1 singles player Alex Okonkwo, a sophomore, remains among the nation's top 125 singles players in the latest ITA singles rankings poll (April 1), standing at No. 116. A thrilling 6-1, 7-6 (10-8) tiebreak win against No. 26 Paul Inchauspe on the road against Princeton, helping send Okonkwo back to the nation's premier list of singles players.
- Okonkwo also came just a few games shy of upending the No. 1 player in the country, Michael Zheng of Columbia. He forced a third set with a tiebreaker win in the second stanza, but would fall 4-6, 7-6 (7-1), 2-6.
- Okonkwo and junior teammate Timothy Carlsson Seger were unranked before the March 18 poll, jumping up to No. 60 in the doubles rankings and dropping one spot to 61 in the April 1 rankings. They have won six of their last seven doubles matches.
- From here on out, the ITA will release team, singles and doubles rankings every Tuesday, with the next happening on the morning of April 8.
