UTR Sports, full college rosters, Fall 2019. Full-roster ranges are wide: the players in a team's lineup usually sit toward the top.

Beyond the number

  • Coaches use the Verified UTR, which counts only sanctioned results.
  • The ITA made WTN the official rating of college tennis in 2023, so keep an eye on both.
  • D1, D2, NAIA and NJCAA programmes can give athletic aid. D3 can't.
  • UTR says coaches also weigh work ethic, academics and team fit.
