The Abington men's tennis team captured its first North Eastern Athletic Conference division title this year.
Penn State Abington captured its first North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) President’s Cup, which is awarded to the top overall program in the 12-member conference. The Abington teams finished the year with a combined .703 winning percentage.
Although its student athletes are the face of the program, Director of Athletics Shawne McCoy stressed that the honor resulted from the shared commitment of many people in the Abington campus community.
"I want to congratulate our coaches, student athletes, and support staff on capturing their first-ever NEAC President’s Cup," McCoy said. "This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of everyone involved. It is truly a team effort."
The winner of the President’s Cup is determined by a points system aggregating a school's combined records in all of the sports in which it fields teams. The Abington teams earned 78 out of a possible 111 points, resulting in the .703 winning percentage.
This accomplishment is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of everyone involved.
