CC’s Anthony Weber Named SCAC Women’s Tennis Coach of the Year

Fiona Cerf Named Newcomer of the Year

Colorado College tennis coach Anthony Weber and freshman Fiona Cerf were named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Women’s Coach and Newcomer of the Year, respectively, today by the league office.

Weber earned his first Coach of the Year award after leading the Tigers to a second-place finish at the 2015 SCAC championships, falling to nationally-ranked Trinity in the title match. Competing with a roster that listed four of its top six singles players as either freshmen or sophomores, Weber guided his squad to its first conference final since joining the SCAC in 2007. CC finished the 2014-15 campaign with a 9-9 record, the most wins in a season since 2011-12.

Weber received three first-place votes in the balloting, followed by Wade Morgan of Schreiner University, who received two votes.

Cerf, meanwhile, posted an 11-4 singles mark at the No. 1 position for the Tigers with her only losses in Division III competition coming at the hands of two regionally-ranked players – Sofia Vega of Texas Lutheran, the SCAC Player of the Year, and Bridget Bellissimo of Wisconsin-Lacrosse. In doubles, Cerf paired with senior Mary Edman to post a 14-4 at No. 1 doubles and the duo won 10 of their last 12 matches during the season.

Cerf also received all-SCAC honors Wednesday and was joined on the team by Edman and fellow freshman Natalia Dellavalle. Edman, who earned all-SCAC honors for the second time (2013), finished the season with a 10-8 singles record, while Dellavalle led the squad with 12 singles victories. Colorado College placed three players on the all-SCAC team for the first time in program history and tied Trinity for the most by a team in the league this season.
