The national champion Middlebury College men’s tennis team was honored by the NCAA on Saturday during halftime of the men’s basketball team’s 85-72 victory over Skidmore University at Pepin Gymnasium. The tennis team was presented with their national championship rings, which they raised high before an enthusiastic home crowd. The awards commemorated the Panther’s 2010 national championship, which they gained by defeating NESCAC rival Amherst in the final. Middlebury finished the 2010 season with a record of 23 wins and only 2 defeats, and were rarely challenged by their opposition on their march to the national championship.
“It was a really great feeling to be honored in front of the whole school and to have their support,” said Derrick Angle ’12. “We are really thankful to the fans and the basketball team for letting us have our ceremony during their game.”
