Jamaica, N.Y.  In the latest WingspanBank.com collegiate tennis rankings, Erik Scharf (Bronxville, N.Y.) has achieved the no. 100 rank in the nation. The ITA uses a point-per-match computer formula to determine the rankings. This is Scharfs first time in the national rankings. Scharf is one of three players from the BIG EAST ranked among the top 100 and the only one from the northeast region.

During the 2000-01 season, Scharf has compiled a 31-4 record. Scharf went undefeated in dual match action, notching 16 wins. Scharf has recorded many significant wins this season.
