Anna Sydorska moved back into the singles rankings at No. 67 nationally. Sydorska is currently 6-2 in singles play, and toppled No. 22 Taylor Ormond of Baylor earlier this season.
Nina Munch-Soegaard also re-entered the rankings on Tuesday at No. 87. Munch-Soegaard is currently 5-3 this season at the top singles position, and upset No. 11 Melanie Gloria of Fresno State on Monday.
The Horned Frog duo of Harkins and Sydorska slid three spots to No. 14 after suffering their first loss to the nation's top-ranked tandem of Gloria and Rowe of Fresno State on Monday. The TCU duo is 6-1 this season, with two wins over nationally ranked opponents.
