TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil men's tennis senior Justin Roberts was granted the Southwest region Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship Award as announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) on Saturday morning.
Roberts played a huge leadership role on a relatively young ASU men's tennis squad, representing the only senior on the nine-man roster. The graduate student transferred to Arizona State for his last season and made an immediate impact both on and off the court for coach Matt Hill.
The Bahamian played three seasons at the University of South Florida – two of which were under Hill – where he advanced to the Round of 16 at the NCAA tournament in doubles during his freshman year and notched a top-5 upset also in tandem play.
