Whitewater does not have any more matches on its schedule for the 2008-2009 regular season.  The Warhawks will await word on a possible postseason berth, with NCAA III possibly beginning May 8.  Whitewater is ranked tenth in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division III Central Region team ratings.  Alex Lowe (Oswego, IL/Oswego), and Lowe and Caiati in doubles, are also ranked in the individual regional poll, which might be an indicator for individual postseason consideration.

UW-W went 20-8 last year, when the team earned its first berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III championship tournament.
