ANNVILLE, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College women's tennis team had a total of five student-athletes that were named to the All-Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Commonwealth Team, as announced by the MAC Office on Thursday morning.
The Dutchmen tied the program record for the most selections in a season, which was set by last year's team.
Nicole Honrade and
Sarah Kramer were LVC's first team selections, and
Meredith Haas was named to the second team.
Livia Jackson and
Eliana Shenk also garnered recognition as honorable mentions. Interim head coach
Jeff Robbins was honored as well, being named Coach of the Year.
Robbins' first career selection as Coach of the Year was presented for his first season at the helm of the program. This marks the second year in a row that an LVC coach received the honor, as Joy Graeff was selected in 2022. Robbins led the Dutchmen to 16-3 overall record and an undefeated 7-0 conference slate this season. Lebanon Valley won its second consecutive MAC Commonwealth title defeating York College of Pennsylvania 5-2 in the championship match at Shankroff Tennis Center. Robbins also guided the team to its second straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
Honrade was named to the first team for a third consecutive season, garnering recognition for a dominant senior campaign. She went 16-4 overall in single matches while going 5-2 against conference opponents at number one. Honrade also made an impact in doubles matches this season, teaming up with Kramer to post a 6-1 record in the conference at number one.
Kramer was also an integral part of the Flying Dutchmen's impressive season, earning her first career All-MAC selection. The sophomore logged an 12-7 overall record, along with a perfect 6-0 mark in the conference at number two singles. Kramer tallied a total of 18 doubles victories as well.
Haas was selected to the second team for the third straight year, receiving All-MAC Commonwealth recognition in each of her collegiate seasons thus far. The junior posted a 15-6 overall record and a dominant 7-0 conference mark at number four singles. Haas also contributed to a total of 14 doubles victories with different pairings during the season.
Jackson provided Lebanon Valley with an impressive campaign in her first year on the team. The senior went 10-4 overall in singles competition, going 4-1 against conference opponents at number three. Jackson posted four doubles victories.
Shenk was another key contributor for the Dutchmen this season, registering a 15-4 singles record with a 4-1 mark in conference play at number five.
