(Seward County Sports Information)  On the heels of their best season in school history, the Seward County Lady Saints will open the 2015-2016 ranked #10 in the country, so says the first ITA/NJCAA rankings of the year. 

The Lady Saints check in at #10 in the rankings, behind a host of traditional powers including ASA, Tyler, and Seminole State at the top and Jayhawk rival Cowley who is in at #7. 

Individually, Seward had a pair of players make their way into the rankings.  Mialiniaina Rakotondrazafy was the top ranked Lady Saint, coming in at #15 in the opening rankings.  Rakotondrazafy finished the fall for the Lady Saints 5-9 overall, going 5-7 in #1 tournament play and 0-2 in #2 action.  Behind Rakotondrazafy in the rankings was teammate Nthabi Mogopodi.  Mogopodi is ranked 28^th in singles to start the year after posting a 7-5 record in her first fall for Seward, playing across four different spots from #1 to #5. 

In the doubles rankings, Seward found one of their pairs in the fold.  Maminiaina Rakotondrazafy and Mogopodi squeaked their way into the final spot of the top 25 despite an 0-4 record in fall matches together. 

A young Lady Saints team will look to prove their ranking true when they open the season February 26^th and 27^th in Dallas, Texas when they take part in the Dallas Duals.
