2016 May 2

Alex Wright of St Austell, Cornwall, England, has been named to the Men's Tennis All-North Atlantic Conference (NAC) First Team for singles, according to a vote of the conference coaches. Majoring in Athletic Training, Wright is a member of the class of 2019.

Wright has been an incredible addition to the Charger lineup as he has tallied a perfect 5-0 singles record in conference play, going 1-0 at No. 1 and 4-0 at No. 2. The rookie also recorded an unblemished 4-0 mark in NAC doubles action with a 1-0 record at No. 2 and a 3-0 record at No. 3. One of his most impressive conference victories was his 6-2, 6-1 win over Castleton's Soren Pelz-Walsh, as he gave the six-time NAC East Rookie of the Week selection his first and only loss of the season. In a 5-4 non-conference win over CCC rival Endicott, Wright claimed a 6-0, 6-4 victory at No. 2 singles against a player who has earned 13 wins on the season. The freshman also beat Division I Siena's No. 2 singles player to help lead his team to 4-3 victory.

The NAC is an athletic conference, affiliated with the NCAA 's Division III, consisting primarily of small liberal arts colleges throughout New England, including: Castleton State College, Colby-Sawyer College, University of Maine at Farmington, Green Mountain College, Husson University, Johnson State College, Lyndon State College, Maine Maritime Academy, New England College, Thomas College.
