Dartmouth picks up three significant New England Regional awards
HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth men's tennis team was recognized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association this week with multiple student-athletes among the New England singles and doubles rankings, and the team coming in at No. 4 in the regional rankings. In addition, Logan Chang received the ITA Rafael Osuna Sportsmanship Award.
For singles, Carlos Guerrero Alvarez was ranked 13th, with Miles Groom at No. 17. Alvarez played primarily the Nos. 1 and 2 positions this season, picking up 10 wins, including a 6-1, 2-6, 6-2 victory in the season finale at No. 2. Meanwhile, Groom finished 12-7 on the season, beginning the year at No. 4 before playing No. 2 and 3 in Ivy League play. Among his victories was a win over Brown on Apr. 5.
In doubles, the team of Henry Ren and Alex Knox-Jones was ranked seventh. The pair finished the season 6-5 when playing at the No. 1 position, ending the yearn with a 6-3 win over Penn's Aaron Sandler and Kian Vakili. Coming in at No. 10 in the New England doubles rankings was the team of Miles Groom and Waleed Qadir, who posted an 11-4 record — 2-1 at the No. 2 position and 9-3 at No. 3. They picked up four wins against Ivy League opponents, beating Brown, Yale, Cornell and Penn.
"It's great to see our team and players show up in the regional rankings," said head coach Justin DeSanto, who just finished his first season at the helm. "Being ranked No. 4 in the New England region is a great start to what we are trying to accomplish as we look to be the best team in the region and eventually, the Ivy League. The individual contribution of all our players is really showing through in these rankings. Specifically, having two ranked singles players and two ranked doubles teams, is a testament to the hard work these guys are putting in to warrant a big change in program direction."
Another impressive honor came from Chang, who received the ITA Rafael Osuna Sportsmanship Award.
"It comes as no surprise that Logan Chang has been given the sportsmanship award," said DeSanto. "Logan is a remarkable young man who strives for excellence in all aspects of his life and has no issue achieving it. He continually brings up those around him by being a great leader, but more importantly, a great person. I'm very happy he has been given this honor."
