Abilene Christian’s Hans Hach was named Lone Star Conference Men’s Tennis Player of the Year on Thursday as the annual awards were announced.
Hach was the top choice for men’s top player for the second straight year and earned All-LSC honors for his play in singles and doubles as well.
The all-conference honors were voted upon by the head coaches at each LSC member institution for the fifth time in 2012. Previously, the results of the LSC Individual Championships Tournament determined the team.
Individual awards went to Incarnate Word’s Luke Trautmann for Sportsmanship Player of the Year, while Midwestern State’s Colby Meeks earned Newcomer of the Year acclaim. Cameron’s Nicolai Ferrigno was tabbed Freshman of the Year and ACU’s Hutton Jones and UIW’s John Newman shared Coach of the Year honors.
A total of 20 student-athletes from four member institutions were recognized through the LSC’s all-conference program.
