TEMPE, Ariz. – Portland women's tennis player Iva Zelic is ranked No. 110 nationally in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Preseason Singles Rankings, presented by Tennis-Point, the ITA announced on Tuesday.

Zelic became the fourth Pilot in program history to earn an ITA National Singles Ranking last spring, going as high as No. 108. She has twice earned All-West Coast Conference Second Team singles honors. Zelic recorded 20 singles wins overall and had a 13-6 dual singles record last year, including four victories against nationally ranked opponents.

"National ranking is great recognition for Iva and for our program to start the year," Portland head coach Filip Zivkovic said. "The best part about college tennis is that every year is a fresh new beginning and these rankings will look much different by the end of the fall season. Iva has done a lot of great work over the summer and I believe that she is ready to take advantage of the opportunities this fall and showcase her development."

Portland's first scheduled fall event is the Milwaukee Tennis Classic on Sept. 16-18. Zelic will also await the announcement of the field for the ITA All-American Championships this week which is scheduled for Oct. 1-9 in Cary, N.C.
