On receiving this great recognition, the coach exclaimed, “It is definitely humbling and a great honor to receive this award from the USPTA. Despite the fact that my name is on the award, it is great that Juniata tennis is being recognized and others are taking note of the recent success we have had. As it is with any award I would receive, it is not solely for me, as I would be nowhere without my teams and the hard work they put in daily. I am thankful for their belief in me and desire to improve to become a championship caliber team.”
