DESCRIPTION
Endicott College Women's Tennis 2010TRANSCRIPT
The women’s tennis team lost
four key players to graduation but
enters 2010 under new leadership
with aspirations of making a fourth
straight The Commonwealth Coast
Conference championship appear-
ance. First year head coach, Lauren
MacKay, hopes to utilize returning
players with game experience in
pursuit of the Gulls’ second TCCC
crown.
Last season, the Blue and Green
nearly repeated as conference
champions, falling to Colby-Sawyer
College in the final to finish the
season 14-4. The Gulls begin 2010
without a senior on the roster and
will look to quickly fill the holes
at number two, three, and four
singles. The doubles pairings will
also be brand new.
Endicott returns their top singles
and doubles player in junior Kate
Cioffi, who went 13-3 in number
one singles and 14-4 in doubles
as a sophomore. The two-time
conference Player of the Week
earned First Team All-TCCC
recognition in both categories.
Fellow juniors Emily Annis and
Kerri Dunn come back after mak-
ing significant contributions last
year. Annis earned five wins in
2009, including a pair of victories
in the TCCC tournament. Dunn also
earned five wins in singles play
while finishing 3-3 in the number
three doubles spot. Look for
the two to fill the void left by
graduation and play an increased
role in 2010.
A number of returning players
hope to play a more active role in
2010. Kristen DiFillippo finished
1-0 in both singles and doubles
last season and looks to step into
the starting rotation on a consis-
tent basis. Fellow junior Laura
MacLeod, as well as a slew of
returning sophomores, hopes to
make a splash this year.
Freshmen Kelly DiPietrantonio,
Alana Rizzo, and Melanie Weinick
will be vying for spots from the
start of the season. The Gulls will
be tested early as they play host to
Nichols College in the early stages
of the season. The Blue and Green
hope to utilize the friendly con-
fines of the South Campus Courts,
where they are 28-2 over the past
three seasons, in their pursuit of
the 2010 TCCC title.
