CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami women’s tennis team is ranked seventh in the country in the weekly Oracle/ITA rankings released Tuesday.

The ranking mark the second week in a row the Hurricanes have been among the top seven teams in nation.  Miami was sixth in last week’s poll and then posted a 2-0 record, including earning a 5-2 victory over No. 12 Virginia.

Miami (12-4, 7-2 ACC) remains the second-highest-ranked team in the ACC, behind only No. 3 North Carolina. The Hurricanes and Tar Heels are two of six ACC teams in the top 20 of the poll, tied with the SEC for the most of any conference.
