SKILLMAN, N.J. - The UCLA women remained No. 1 in the Campbell/ITA Women's Team Rankings, but the Florida Gators continue to close the gap little by little. The Bruins collected a pair of wins over conference opponents at the LA Tennis Center, while the Gators picked up a pair of road victories against SEC competition. Meanwhile, the top-ranked Trojans recorded two sweeps on the road against Pac-12 squads to pull away even more from No. 2 Virginia in the Campbell/ITA Men's Team Rankings.
