ECU tennis finishes off season with wins

The East Carolina University men’s and women’s tennis teams both competed and won against American Athletic Conference opponents this weekend, with the men accomplishing a 20-plus win season for the first time under men’s tennis head coach Shawn Henchion.

The men (21-4) hosted the University of Connecticut (4-1) on Sunday, winning 5-2, and setting a program record with 21 wins on the season. Heinchon said he was proud of the team's effort this season.

“We try to focus on the next match this season, so we didn’t look to hard at the record,” Heinchon said, “But we have had a number of wins against teams that beat us last year, and I’m really proud of the guys for that.
