SALISBURY, Md. - A windy day forced the Salisbury Universityÿs menÿs tennis team
(9-5, 4-1 CAC) to the indoor center for todayÿs regional match against
Christopher Newport University (11-4, 5-0 USA-S).

and Mark Nettlow (Winter Haven, FL/Winter Haven) fell to CNU, putting the

Salisbury Tennis Hopes to
Serve Up a Championship Season (PREVIEW)
February 4, 2006
2006 MEN'S ROSTER |
2006 WOMEN'S ROSTER |
2006 SCHEDULE
SALISBURY, Md. - With a strong team returning for 2006, Salisbury University
Tennis Coach Randy Halfpap believes the men and women can sweep the
Capital Athletic Conference tournament at the end of the season. "We have a lot
of experience with our main players in the same roles as last year," said
Halfpap. "With our top three players returning for both teams, our goal is to
win the conference tournament."
On the men’s side of
the court, senior Tyler Robinson (Leonardtown, MD/Leonardtown) anchors
the team. "Tyler has been our number one and always plays big for us," said
Halfpap. The number two on the team is sophomore Brendan Kincaid (Cambridge,
MD/Cambridge-SD). Kincaid was the CAC rookie of the year in 2005 and won
eight of his last ten matches. "He has a great personality and is fun to be
around," said Halfpap. "Brendan works hard and his competitive nature is only
going to make him better."
Two newcomers on the
team are Sasha Felikson (Rockville, MD/Wooten) and Mark Nettlow
(Winter Haven, FL/Winter Haven). "We have a great freshman class this year
that will make an impact right away," said Halfpap. "Sasha has experience
playing juniors and with Mark being a lefty, it will give a lot of people
trouble playing his game."
The women’s team
returns a lot of experience as well. The team is lead by juniors Erika
Mitry (Summit, NJ/Summit), Jen Rosler (East Moriches, NY/West Hampton
Beach), and senior Sammie Smiles (Hagerstown, MD/Williamsport). Mitry,
Rosler, and Smiles have at least two years of experience that can lead the team
to a conference title after last years third place finish.
Freshmen Anna Marie
Kable (Parkton, MD/Notre Dame Prep) and Robyn Wendell (Shiloh,
NJ/Cumberland) look to see a lot of action when the season gets underway.
"We had a solid recruiting class," said Halfpap. "I believe Anna Marie and Robyn
can make a pretty big impact right from the get go."
With both teams core
intact from last season, Salisbury has a chance to reach their goals. "For men
and women it would be great to be in the top 25 in the nation and to be one of
the elite seven teams in our region," said Halfpap. "We have a good situation
going with a nice mix of upper classmen and freshman that has our teams heading
in the right direction."
