MADISON, N.J. – After an extremely competitive second season of Landmark Conference competition 16 student-athletes have been selected to the 2009 All-Landmark Conference Men’s Tennis Team as selected by the conference’s eight head coaches. The team consists of a first and second team, with six singles players and three doubles pairings per team, and the voting took place prior to the start of the Landmark postseason.

Drew University which went undefeated in conference play during the season reaped the benefits as the Rangers placed four players overall on the team, as did Moravian College. Those two teams also took the individual postseason honors as Drew freshman Jeff Marshall took home both Player and Rookie of the Year honors after a stellar freshman season. Moravian, led by Co-Head Coaches Jim Walker and Neil Caniga, was honored by the voters as the Coaching Staff of the Year.
