I'm thinking those national rankings compare favorably with conference ranking of other years. True?

Edit. What I am asking is this season's results a sign of a rising Big West that two teams are in the top 40, and competition at the top.

Hmm...

Perhaps it's time I offended everyone...

OK, changed my mind a bit. I'll restrict myself to saying I'm yet to be convinced that up is the direction the Big West is going at the moment.

Yes, I was present!!

24. UC Irvine (+6)
41. Long Beach St. (-2)
56. UCSB (-2)

45. Boston College (+6)
48. Tulane (+19)
58. Louisville (+12)
60. Wyoming (NR)
66. San Jose St. (-2)
72. LMU (NR)

UCI breaks into top 25!


- UCI's highest ranking in the Coach Edles era.

- Tulane's upset of #38 Georgia St. boosted them 19 spots and was just what UCI wanted.

- LSU ahead but unable to close out #44 Kentucky in a 3-4 home loss is a bad break for UCI & LBS.

- San Jose St. holding steady despite loss to UC Davis. Playing in the WAC will pad SJS's record. Plus SJS can possibly get 2 wins over newly ranked #55 Denver also of the WAC.

- I'll reply to the other posts when I have more time a little later.


LMU must be giddy getting ranked for beating Long Beach St.



Form's team just made the disliked April Bisharat and Kristine Kouyoumjian's season!

Congratulations to the UCI team and Coach Edles.

This will make it that much sweeter when the Beach Ladies beat UCI at the conference tournament in April

#41 Long Beach St. def. #45 Boston College 5-2

I'm actually rooting for Long Beach St. to win the rest of their non-conference matches.

LBS needs to do their part to help UCI make a run at being ranked in the top 16, only 8 spots out, and potentially host a regional.

If LBS sweeps #45 Boston College, #58 Louisville and #60 Wyoming they may crack the top 30 in the rankings. When UCI beats LBS again in the Big West Touranment, having 2 wins over a top 30 LBS team , will help UCI's push to try & crack the top 20 and maybe even the top 16.

Way to go. I'm going to take a screenshot. Gouci celebrating with Form and friends.

Glad to see GOUCI is too practical to be spiteful

3/8/13

SMU upsets #22 Tulsa 4-3

SMU who has won 6 of their last 7 may end up getting ranked next week.

UCI & UCSB both need to beat visiting SMU and take advantage of the opportunity to potentially add another ranked win.

A win over SMU may be just the thing to keep UCSB afloat in the rankings after their 3-4 lost against Furman.

#24 UCI def. SMU 5-2

- UCI's #125 Kristina Smith upset SMU's #98 Cieplucha 6-4,6-3.

Doubles

55. Kristina Smith/ Mucki Goetsching, UCI (-7)


Singles

101. Kristina Smith, UCI (+24)

- Kristina Smith got the all important cushion that she needs for insurance. Now Kristina can sustain an unranked loss in the future, for example maybe to the #1 from Hawaii or LBS, and still remain in the rankings to receive the Big West automatic bid for the NCAA singles tournament.


Team

23. UCI (+1)
37. Long Beach St. (+4)
63. UCSB (-7)

48. SMU (from NR)
50. Tulane (-2)
52. SDSU (+1)
57. Denver (-2)
58. Iowa (from NR)
62. Boston College (-17)
66. LSU (+5)
69. San Jose St. (-3)
70. Wyoming (-10)
71. Louisville (-13)

- UCI moves up to #23 in the latest national rankings.

This is the new highest ranking in the Coach Edles era.

- SMU enters the ranking at #48. Their new ranking will help prop up UCI, Tulane & LSU.

- Iowa who visits Long Beach St. enters the ranking at #58 after upsetting #37 Illinois.

Why are you so anxious to 'connect' me and those twins Well, too bad I couldn't go.

#23 UCI out bats #71 Louisville 4-3

- Louisville should be a little tired for Long Beach St.

Go Beach!


#48 SMU def. Santa Clara 5-2

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but isn't the rankings meaningless, especially this early in the season???

Ranked in the top 25 is an accomplishment. Yes, I don't think that UCI has a chance of hosting a regional, but its got to be good for recruiting to be able to say we were ranked in the top 25.
