Sinclair, Berman Earn NECC Men's Tennis Honors
ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Mitchell College junior Orson Sinclair and senior Michael Berman were recognized by the New England Collegiate Conference on Monday as the league announced its annual men's tennis awards.
Sinclair was one of six singles players named to the all-conference first team. He earned first team status for the first time in his career after garnering honorable mention status the past two seasons. Berman was one of five players named to the all-sportsmanship team. All awards were determined by a vote of the conference's head coaches.
Sinclair began the year as Mitchell's No. 2 singles player but finished the season at the No. 1 position, posting a 3-5 record in league play. Berman filled in at the No. 2 spot to end the season and also owned a 3-5 record in NECC play. The pair helped the Mariners (2-9 overall, 2-6 NECC) to a fourth-place finish and a berth in the NECC Championship.
