BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) has released the latest NCAA singles and doubles rankings, and Bowling Green State University men's tennis junior Geoff Hiscox is included among the singles players. Hiscox is ranked 70th in the nation in the rankings, which were released Tuesday (Dec. 11).
Hiscox, a native of London, Ontario, was not ranked in the preseason listings, but posted a 10-3 record during the fall portion of the season. His fall campaign was highlighted by a lengthy run in the ITA Men's All-American Championships in Stone Mountain, Ga.
During that competition, Hiscox advanced through the prequalifier and the qualifier to make it all the way to the main draw. He was eliminated from that tournament by San Diego State's Oliver Maiberger, who is currently 11th in the country in the latest rankings.
Of Hiscox's other two losses in the fall, one came at the hands of DePaul's Jevgenji Cariov, currently ranked 39th in the nation, while the other came to Mike Calkins of Illinois.
Hiscox, the first BGSU player to ever play in the main draw of the ITA All-American Championships, posted a win over one nationally-ranked opponent in that tourney (Marcio Petrone of North Carolina, 62nd in the preseason, 73rd in the current rankings).
Stanford's K.J. Hippensteel is the top-rated player in the nation. The poll was determined by the ITA National Rankings Committee.
BGSU's next action is a Jan. 19, 2002, dual match at Indiana University.
