Whitewater does not have any more matches on its schedule for the 2008-2009 regular season. The Warhawks will await word on a possible postseason berth, with NCAA III possibly beginning May 8. Whitewater is ranked tenth in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division III Central Region team ratings. Alex Lowe, and Lowe and Caiati in doubles, are also ranked in the individual regional poll, which might be an indicator for individual postseason consideration.
UW-W went 20-8 last year, when the team earned its first berth in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III championship tournament.
