Gamarra Martins Makes History at No. 9 in ITA Poll

TEMPE, Ariz. – South Carolina senior Ingrid Gamarra Martins continues to make history as the Gamecocks’ highest-ranked singles player in program history, coming in at No. 9 in the newest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll on Tuesday afternoon.
 
Moving up one spot from her previous No. 10 ranking, Gamarra Martins broke the record she set just two weeks ago. Gamarra Martins has an impressive overall mark of 17-5. In duals, she is 5-1 at the No. 1 position and has won five-consecutive matches. Against nationally ranked opponents, Gamarra Martins sits at 10-5 overall and 3-1 in dual matches.
 
This week, the team also moved up one spot from No. 10 to No. 9 after defeating two SEC opponents. First, Carolina defeated Mississippi State on March 2, 4-1, and then blanked Ole Miss, 4-0, on March 3.
 
Gamarra Martins finds her name in the ITA’s top-10 doubles teams with junior Mia Horvit at No. 7. The tandem owns an overall record of 16-3, including a 6-1 mark in dual matches at the No. 1 spot for the Gamecocks. Gamarra Martins and Horvit went 2-0 this past weekend, extending their winning streak to three matches.
 
Also making appearances in the singles poll is senior Paige Cline at No. 49 and Horvit at No. 99. Cline plays at the No. 2 position for Carolina and has a mark of 3-3, bringing her overall record to 12-6. Competing in the No. 3 spot, Horvit is 5-1 in duals and 12-4 so far this season.
 
Rounding out the rankings for South Carolina, senior Rachel Rohrabacher and sophomore Megan Davies are now the No. 28-ranked doubles team. Together, the duo is 3-1 in dual matches and 11-7 overall.
 
Up next, the Gamecocks hit the road for two away matches. First, they take on No. 41 Missouri at 6 p.m. ET on Friday, March 8, and then travel to No. 44 Arkansas for a 1 p.m. ET match on Sunday, March 10.
