Each week for the remainder of the spring we will honor the seniors from two NE10 men's tennis programs as our teams of the week for each player's dedication to their program and teammates.
ADELPHI
Coach Rebecca Fakas on her senior class - "David Robres and Sabin Saveluc have been leaders for our team and the Adelphi community for the last four years. It has been a pleasure coaching these hardworking and dedicated players that strive for excellence both on the court and in the classroom. I want to thank them for all they have done, and wish them continued success in their future endeavors."
