Women's Tennis Picked To Claim Fifth Straight CCC Title

2015 CCC Preseason Poll Release

BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott women's tennis team has been selected to repeat as Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) champions for the fifth straight season in a vote conducted by the league's nine head coaches.

The Gulls received 74 points, which included five first place votes, headed into the 2015 season after registering a 14-5 record overall and an 8-0 mark in conference play last fall. In the CCC Tournament last season, Endicott only dropped one match in two playoff rounds en route to downing Nichols, 5-1, to claim the CCC crown.

Nichols and Roger Williams tied for second place in the CCC preseason poll with 67 points apiece, while Gordon ranked No. 4 with 61 points and Western New England University was positioned fifth with 41 points.

Salve Regina checked in at No. 6 (40), while Wentworth (27), Eastern Nazarene (19), and Curry (9) all followed to wrap up the preseason poll standings.

Endicott will begin its title defense next week with matches against No. 35 nationally ranked Babson on Wednesday, September 2 at 3:30 p.m. and Western New England on Saturday, September 5 at 12 p.m. Both matches will be played on the road.
