Doubles play for West Florida is also strong with doubles duo Serdar Bojadjiev and Vitinho Galvao ranked No. 25 in the latest rankings after being previously ranked No. 46 the week before.
No. 13 Cameron University, who enter the tournament as the eight seed, found their way to Altamonte Springs, Fla. by beating St. Edwards 4-0 in the South Central Regional 2 last week.

The Argos are now on their way into the round of 16 in the NCAA DII Championships in Altamonte Springs, Fla. 2017 was the last time the Argos were in the NCAA DII Championship tournament where they won their fourth National Championship Title with a 5-2 win over Barry.
