Sophomore Clay Allen (Massena, N.Y.) and sophomore Justin Pinard (Essex, Vt.) join Taschereau on the All-Conference Singles First Team.

Taschereau and doubles partner senior Reeve Fidler (San Diego, Calif.) landed on the All-Conference Doubles First Team. Fidler earned a nod to the Singles Second Team.

Pinard and sophomore teammate Sergio Spassof (Pallini, Greece) were Doubles Second Team honorees.

Colby-Sawyer's Barry Schoonmaker was honored with the NAC East Division Coach of the Year award by his peers, leading the Chargers to their second-straight division championship and a berth in the NAC Final slated for Sunday, May 5.

NAC all-conference selections are determined by a vote of the conference coaches. Additional players honored are due to ties in the voting. Beginning with the 2010 season, the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) has partnered with the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) in the sports of men's and women's tennis.  The NEAC will compete as associate members of the NAC men's tennis, while the NAC will compete as associate members of the NEAC in women's tennis.  Members from each conference will be divided into an East and West Division for each sport, with each division holding a championship and the two divisional champions then facing off to determine the conference champion. The conference winner for each sport will earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Championships.
