league-record of 44 conference tennis matches, along with two victories at the 2007 team championships.

“When I came to Cabrini, my coach, John Magee, taught me all of the basics, which I greatly appreciated. I grew a lot as a player both physically and mentally this year. I was honored to receive the Rookie of the Year award, and I’m excited to continue playing for the Cabrini tennis team,” freshman physical therapy major Stephanie Tighe said.

Tighe was given the title PAC Women’s Tennis Rookie of the Year. She finished the season with marks of 14-2 in singles and 18-1 in doubles play. Tighe teamed up with junior Nicole Pontious and earned the All-PAC First Team award, which led them to be named the All-PAC Honorable Mention Team. Tighe won 13 consecutive singles matches in the middle of this past season, and ended with a flawless 10-0 record in PAC singles.

The players as well as their head coach look forward to continuing their high achievements. They are planning to compete in the NCAA Championships this coming May and have high hopes for their future performace.

“It is an honor being recognized for the Sportsmanship award. I feel that sportsmanship is the way to disregard all the cheating and unfair play that people tend to get caught up with to win,” DiTaranto said.
