BUIES CREEK, N.C. - The Campbell University men's tennis doubles team of Davy Sum and Dominik Kaniewski enter this week as the #56 ranked doubles team in the nation according to this week's Campbell/ITA College Tennis Rankings.

Sum/Kaniewski currently own a 9-1 overall doubles mark on the season including a 3-1 record in Atlantic Sun Conference play. The duo also started the season with an eight match winning streak before dropping a match against Renato Antun and Rafael Matos of Belmont.

"It is well deserved for Davy and Dominik to get the doubles ranking," said Campbell head coach David Johnson. "They have only lost once this season and have played consistently well and their efforts at number one doubles have helped set the tone for our other doubles teams."

This marks the highest ranking for a Campbell since 2003 when the doubles team of Martin Parkes and Sergio Tejada earned a number-60 national ranking during the season. Campbell has never had a doubles team finish a season with a year-end national ranking.

"A large part of our success this season has been due to our overall doubles play," said Coach Johnson. "I'm happy for these guys to receive this type of recognition and I hope they can maintain their excellent play."
