Georgi Rumenov Named ITA DII Men's Tennis National Senior of the Year

At the NCAA's reception on Tuesday night, the ITA announced its national award winners who were in attendance and senior Georgi Rumenov was named the ITA DII Men's Tennis National Senior of the Year. Although Georgi has only been playing for the Pirates for two seasons, he has been ranked No. 1 in the nation in both singles and doubles in every ranking that he has been eligible for. It's truly a great accomplishment for what has been an outstanding career for the Barcelona, Spain, native. 

The ITA Regional award winners were announced last week and the Pirates had a couple of other honorees. Obviously, Georgi was the Southeast Region's men's tennis Senior of the Year, but fellow senior Dan Regan was the Southeast Region's Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership awards winner. On the women's side, Marlen Hacke was the ITA Southeast Region's "Player to Watch" and new assistant coach Iuliia Sherrod was the ITA Southeast Region's Assistant Coach of the Year.

Congratulations to all of the Pirates' award winners, and tomorrow it happens for real as action on the court begins in Surprise, Arizona !
