Arlington, Texas - Prior to the start of the Mavericks fall season opener on September 18, sophomore Maria Martinez-Romer will begin her season ranked among the very best in the nation in singles competition.
The Intercollegiate Tennis Association released the National Preseason Singles Rankings early this week which ranked Martinez-Romer 112th.
"I am so proud of Maria for breaking into the national rankings," said Benitez. "This is the result of her hard work and dedication and she deserves to be among the best in the nation."
Martinez-Romer finished last season with a 21-2 overall record and an undefeated 11-0 mark in conference. She earned SLC Player of the Week honors and was an All-SLC second team recipient.
The Nules, Spain native is the only player from the Southland Conference to earn the recognition.
