2005 NESCAC Women's Tennis All-Conference Teams Announced
Amherst's Holt Named
Player of the Year
HADLEY, Mass. – Rachel Holt
of Amherst was named Player of the Year at the 2005 NESCAC
Women’s Tennis Championships in a vote by the conference
coaches. Holt, the 2002 NESCAC Rookie of the Year, was upset in the
quarterfinals of the “A” flight singles draw
(consisting of first and second singles player) by eventual
champion and last season’s Rookie of the Year Amy Roche of
Middlebury. Holt did earn all-conference honors for the fourth
consecutive year after winning the “A” flight doubles
title with fellow senior Tristan Hedrick.
Holt and Hedrick were two of six
players from the 2005 NESCAC Champion Amherst squad named to the
all-conference first team. Joining the doubles duo were Kristen
Raverta and Monica Snyder who claimed the “B” flight
doubles crown and the Erin Murphy and Laura Stein who won the
“C” flight doubles title. Hedrick, who won the
“B” flight singles draw (consisting of third and fourth
singles player), and Snyder, the “C” flight singles
champion (fifth and sixth singles player), also earned first-team
singles honors. Raverta earned first-team honors for the third
consecutive season after falling in the “A” flight
title match to Middlebury’s Roche.
Roche along with Tufts’ senior Jennifer Lejb and sophomore
teammate Stephanie Ruley round out the first team honors.
In other honors voted upon at the
Championships, Amanda Berck of Middlebury was named Rookie of the
Year, Sara Hughes of Colby was honored as the Senior Sportswoman of
the Year, and Connecticut College head coach Paul Hutch 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.
