GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- The Tusculum College men's tennis team is listed in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division II National Rankings for the first time in the 2015 season, coming in at number 43 as announced yesterday by the organization. In addition, Pioneer senior Lukas Winkelmann moved up to 10th in the national singles rankings.

TC is 10-1 overall this season and 3-1 in the South Atlantic Conference. The Pioneers are just one of two SAC teams represented in the poll right behind Queens University of Charlotte, who is 36th.

Winkelmann is 10-0 in singles play this season after starting the 2015 campaign ranked 12th in the initial ITA poll. He is currently riding a 43-match winning streak in regular-season singles action dating back to the 2013 season. The Bobligen, Germany native is the only ranked player from the SAC.

Winkelmann is also slotted third in the latest ITA Southeast Region singles rankings that were released last week.

The Pioneers will be back in action this weekend with a pair of matches at the Nichols Tennis Complex. TC will host Coker on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Newberry on Sunday beginning at noon.
