DENVER – The University of Denver women's tennis team (6-4, 0-0 Summit) improved by 12 spots in the ITA Computerized Rankings, now up to No. 49 in the rankings released on Tuesday.
 
Denver played three matches last week as part of the Red Blue Invite on February 20-21, highlighted by a 4-3 come-from-behind win against host and then-No. 40 Arizona to start the tournament.
 
It was DU's first win of the season over a team that was nationally ranked at the time of the match, though Denver also has a win over Colorado, which is now ranked No. 74.
 
Of DU's four rankings in 2026, three have come against top-40 teams in No. 6 Arizona State, No. 29 BYU and No. 35 Utah.
 
DU has now appeared in consecutive ITA rankings after making its 2026 debut at No. 61 on February 19.
