GILBERT, Ariz. – After claiming wins in three of her four matches since the start of the year, Florida Gulf Coast sophomore June Bjork was recognized for her success on the court by earning a No. 112 national ranking in singles.

Bjork is 6-4 overall this season and has posted a 3-1 record in dual match play. In her most recent singles action, she cruised to a 6-2, 6-1 win over Middle Tennessee's Rutuja Chaphalkar.

She is the only Atlantic Sun women's tennis player to be ranked in the latest national rankings by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), released on Feb. 4.

This marks the Swedish native's first time earning a national ranking in collegiate tennis. The sophomore is in her first season at FGCU following her freshman year at SMU, where she went 8-10 on the year and ended the season winning three of her last four completed matches.

Bjork is the first Eagle to receive a national ranking in singles since Emma Bardet was ranked 96^th nationally on Feb. 21, 2023.

FGCU (4-1) returns to action Friday when the Eagles play at USF (0-2). The Bulls haven't played a dual match since back-to-back losses on the courts on Jan. 17 at Florida State (6-1) and Jan. 18 at UCF (4-1).
