Hall of Williams Honored as NESCAC Women’s Tennis Player of the Year

HARTFORD, Conn. – For the second consecutive year, Stephanie Hall of Williams was named Player of the Year at the NESCAC Women’s Tennis Championship. Hall earned all-conference first team honors for the fourth consecutive year after winning the "A" flight doubles title with fellow senior Kate Troy. Amy Roche of Middlebury was named Rookie of the Year, teammate Sandy Spring of Middlebury was honored as Senior Sportswoman of the Year, and Middlebury head coach Nate Simms earned Coach of the Year accolades.

The NESCAC all-conference team was determined from action at the tournament. Each player who reached the final in any of the three singles flights or won any of the three doubles flights earned first-team All-NESCAC honors. Each player who advanced to the semifinal round in singles or reached the final in doubles received second-team all-conference recognition. Other accolades are voted upon by the coaches in the conference.

The 2004 NESCAC co-champions Amherst and Williams each placed three members on the all-conference first team. Amherst’s Kristen Raverta, last year’s Rookie of the Year, won the "A" flight singles title (consisting of first and second singles players) to earn first-team honors. She joined with senior teammate Wallis Molchen to win the "B" flight doubles title. First year Katie Hudson won the "C" flight singles draw (fifth and sixth singles players).

Williams’ Alex Maclennan defeated teammate Kate Troy to win the "B" flight singles title (third and fourth singles players). Maclennan, who earned first team honors last season, and Troy, who was recognized on the first team for the third time in her career, join Hall on the first team. The Bowdoin duo of Paulette Hricko and Julia Shaver won the "C" flight doubles draw to earn first-team honors. Seniors Diana Goldman of Trinity, a three time all-conference honoree, and Sanida Kikic were also recognized on the all-conference first team.
