Even with a loss to the University of Minnesota, Drake snuck back into the nation’s top 50 teams after falling out last week.
Against no. 47 University of Washington on March 4, that point made the difference as Drake won 4-3. But the doubles point went to waste against no. 32 University of Minnesota; it was one of Drake’s only two points on March 5.
Unsurprisingly, the second point against Minnesota came from sophomore Vinny Gillespie who is already in double digits in the win column at 10-1. He is now ranked 48th in the nation in singles.
