Was a big weekend for Coach Chadwick and his team as he knocked off two top 5 teams in Georgia (4-3 *really 4-2 but they allowed #1 singles to continue after the match was decided) and Tennessee (crushed 6-1 with the only loss coming at #4 singles).

OXFORD, Miss. – Following a huge weekend in which the Ole Miss men’s tennis team defeated top-five foes Georgia and Tennessee, the Rebels jumped up to No. 3 in the latest Campbell/ITA National Rankings released Tuesday.
