SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Five Cal Poly men's tennis players earned Big West All-Conference honors, the Big West announced Thursday.
In singles, junior Noah Berry was named First Team All-Conference while junior Joe Leather was named Second Team All-Conference.
In doubles, the tandem of Berry and junior Fernando Fonseca as well as junior Colter Smith and sophomore Bastiaan Weststrate garnered Second Team All-Big West honors.
For Berry, he has now been named First Team All-Big West in singles in each of his first three seasons. He becomes the fourth player in program history to be named First Team All-Conference at least three times.
Berry finished the year with a singles record of 11-6 while playing at the No. 1 spot in the lineup. He also held a national singles ranking as high as No. 55 at one point this year. Berry will head into his senior year with a career dual match singles record of 34-17, which ranks tied for fourth best in program history.
Leather earned Second Team All-Big West honors after going 8-10 at the No. 2 spot in the lineup. He finished the regular season winning two of his last three matches. This is the second straight year Leather has been named Second Team All-Conference in singles.
In doubles, Berry and Fonseca were 5-3 on the year on their way to being named Second Team All-Big West. They won three of their final four matches of the season, including over No. 39 UC Santa Barbara and Hawai'i. Last season, Berry and Fonseca were named Honorable Mention All-Big West after pairing together.
Smith and Weststrate were 4-1 for the season, all in Big West play while playing at both the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in the lineup. This is the second year in a row that they have been named Second Team All-Big West.
