BY BOBBY LOESCH THE DAILY IOWAN To be ranked, or not to be ranked. That’s been the story so far for the Iowa women’s tennis team. After kicking off the sea- son ranked 36th, the Hawkeyes slipped out of the top 75 with a pair of home losses to Indiana State and Denver. However, after big road wins against Alabama and Furman in Tuscaloosa, Ala., the women vaulted back into the polls at 61st last week and moved up to 59th after an inactive weekend. With the unranked Blue Demons in the immediate future, head coach Daryl Greenan said the team is focused on today’s meet but knows No. 2 Notre Dame (9-1) is coming up on Feb. 25. “We’re definitely not looking past DePaul, and we’re prepar- ing for it,” Greenan said. “But we Lindsey Walters/The Daily Iowan know what we have ahead of us.” Hawkeye junior Jacqueline Lee serves against Denver at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex What the Hawkeyes “have on Feb. 4.
