The Loper Men are pre-seasoned
ranked 28th in the nation, Raymond and
Nadella finished the fall season as the
#2 ranked doubles team in the country
after upsetting the #1 nationally-ranked
doubles team (Queens College, NY) in
the Elite 8. During the 2010-2011
season, the Loper Men were regional
champions, earning their first berth to
the NCAA Sweet 16 since 2007.
Currently, all 6 varsity players are
ranked in the top 20 in the central
region.
The Loper Women are pre-seasoned
ranked 27th in the country. The 2011
Loper Women’s team were coming off
of back-to-back Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference (RMAC)
championships. With five freshmen in
the lineup, the Lopers continued their
string of successes, going 6-0 and
winning the RMAC regular season
championship. This past fall, #1 Singles,
Vanessa Gunawan, finished in 7th place
at the national championships in
Mobile, AL. Gunawan only lost 11 total
games to win the regional tournament,
qualifying her for nationals.
