DURHAM, N.C. - The latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings were released on Tuesday with four members of the Duke women's tennis team earning recognition.

McCain had an impressive fall campaign, advancing to the semifinals of the Riviera All-American and the Omni Hotels National Collegiate Indoor Championships, while recording an 8-3 record.

DeRoo, a transfer from Ole Miss., posted a 10-3 record after advancing to the finals of the Southeast Regional Championships and winning the consolation bracket at the Riviera All-American.

She finished with a 5-4 record with two losses coming against 27th-ranked Carolina Mayorga of Kentucky. Johnson struggled to a 4-5 record, after being ranked ninth in the preseason.
