The Pack is tabbed at No. 11 in the latest Oracle/ITA Division I Rankings, as announced Tuesday. In the individual rankings, the Pack features three singles players and one doubles duo.

The team has won six of its last seven matches, and four of those victories have been against ranked opponents (No. 14 Virginia, No. 36 Boston College, No. 49 Louisville, No. 44 Notre Dame).

This season, No. 28 Anna Rogers has defeated 10 nationally-ranked singles opponents. On court one, the Stamford, Conn., native is 10-4 in dual season.

Adriana Reami, ranked 103rd, has won nine of her last 10 matches, needing only straight sets in six of her wins. The Miami, Fla., native is 4-1 in singles conference play this season.

Rogers and Smith are the 12th-ranked doubles duo. The junior-freshman duo boasts a 21-3 record, including a 4-1 record in conference play. With six nationally-ranked wins, they have defeated two top-15 doubles opponents this season (No. 5 Janet Koch and Nina Khelnitckaia - Kansas, No. 13 Meghan Kelley and Sofia Munera - Virginia).
