“ ”My best memory from last year’s season was our matches at the ECAC’s at Harvard. We really shocked all the Ivy League teams, and truly became a tennis force in the Northeast.

-Akash Muppidi ‘12

“ ”The best part of the BC tennis program is that our team is a group of selfless guys who always look out for one another. We are a team who plays, and competes, for the love of the game.

-Jonathan Schroeder ‘12

“ ”When we beat Yale last season that was definitely one of the highlights for us. We had to come back in a lot of the matches, and it was a great 4-3 win, especially to get it against a great team in the region. That win gave us a lot of confidence heading into the rest of the season.

-Thomas Nolan ‘10

“ ”Beating Brown in our first match last season was a great moment for not only me, but for our team as well. We trained very hard before that match, and it showed us that hard work really does pay off. The BC tennis program as a whole has given me a great opportunity to travel, compete, and continue playing the sport that I've played all my life.

The Boston College men’s tennis team enters its fifth season in the Atlantic Coast Conference under the guidance of Head Coach Scott Wilkins. In his seventh season at the Heights, Wilkins has set the bar high for the Eagles this year after going 14-13 just a season ago. The men’s tennis program has taken some big strides over these past two seasons as the team has been able to achieve some impressive ac-complishments. The Eagles posted their first ever ACC win in the 2007-08 season beating the Clemson University Tigers 4-3. Last season BC finished with its best overall record (14-13) since the 2002-03 season when the Eagles were back in the Big East. Wilkins, and the rest of the Eagles, will be looking to achieve even more this season.“Our biggest goal this season is to get another ACC win,” Wilkins said. “We tasted that success two seasons ago against Clemson, and we had a couple close matches last season, but this year we are looking for even more. Another goal for our team this year is to maintain our success against regional and Ivy League teams. We had an outstand-ing year against those types of teams last season, and I look for that to continue heading into this season.”

The Eagles return five starters from last season, including their No. 1 and No. 2 singles players from a year ago. Senior Thomas Nolan, and sophomore Akash Muppidi, will be looking to continue their solid perfor-mance at the top of the lineup this season. The pair went a combined 25-22 in singles play last year, and they will look to become one of the best one-two combinations the Heights has seen in quite some time.Nolan posted a 10-12 overall singles record last year at the No. 1 position, and a 15-7 doubles record with partner Erik Kreutzer at the No. 1 spot. “Thomas is a senior captain this season, and he has always displayed great leadership on and off the court for our team. He is a very difficult opponent to play against because of how he mixes up his game, and his strong desire to win. He has established himself as a top 5 to 10 player in the region.”Muppidi had a year for the ages with the Eagles last season as he emerged as one of the best freshman in the ACC. He went a team-best 15-10 in singles play with most of his time being spent at the No. 2 spot where he went 10-9. Muppidi was honored at the end of the season as he was named the ITA Northeast Region Freshman of the Year.“Akash from the beginning of the year to the end of the year last season made huge strides in improving his game. A lot of coaches around the league took notice of his great play as he posted several ACC wins as a freshman. He is an aggressive baseline player who has loads of tal-ent, and potential, which should only improve heading into this season.” Junior Erik Kreutzer had a very good season last year as he made signifi-cant impacts in singles and doubles play. He solidified himself at the No. 3 spot last year going 6-11, and posted an overall singles record of 9-14. Kreutzer, and partner Nolan, had an outstanding year as a doubles team as they went 15-7 for the year, and were ranked as high as 59th in the nation.

“Thomas and Erik have really come together as a team over this past year. They are a tough team to go up against because of their contrast-ing styles, and they both have a good feel and knowledge of the game which works to their advantage as well. When they are on they’re one of the best doubles teams I have ever seen, and they will definitely look to get back into the top 50 this season.”The back end of the singles lineup is loaded with talent as we could see a number of different players playing these positions, either returnees or newcomers, depending on who has the hot hand. Leading this group will be sophomore Alex Skinner, juniors Brian Locklear, Adam Davison and Brendan Wong and senior Brian Garber.Junior Michael Vann and sophomore Rob Ankner will both see time in the singles and doubles lineup for Wilkins this season as well.

One new freshman, and a sophomore transfer from Indiana University, will be joining the Eagles this year. Their youth and talent will mix in nicely to the seasoned core of veterans. These two highly skilled players will give Wilkins several different options as he fills out his lineup sheet. Jonathan Schroeder (Winnetka, Ill.) is a talented sophomore who will see time in both singles and doubles play. Wilkins expects Schroeder to play in the No. 4 or No. 5 singles spots, and team up with Muppidi in doubles play. “Jonathan is a very solid player who comes to us with some good college tennis experience playing in the Big Ten last season, and I fully expect that will carry over into the ACC this year.”Billy Grokenberger (Santa Barbara, Calif.) will have a strong impact on the Eagles doubles lineup this year as he is a doubles specialist. “Billy has won a couple national doubles tournaments in the juniors. He is a very skilled doubles player who will be an asset to our lineup this season.”

The Eagles will open its season on Jan. 23 against Columbia in New York, NY. Other key non-conference opponents will include matches against other Ivy League opponents such as Dartmouth, Harvard, Brown and Yale. This season will also feature matchups against a pair of New England schools in Boston University and Sacred Heart Univer-sity. The last of the non-conference schedule features three matches while the Eagles are on spring break against UNC-Wilmington, Coastal Carolina and the College of Charleston.The ACC schedule begins for BC on Feb. 6, when the Eagles will host the Hokies of Virginia Tech University.

Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus to serve the sons of Boston’s Irish immigrants. It was the first institution of higher edu-cation to be founded in the city of Boston. Today, it is one of the foremost universities in the nation, with a coeducational enrollment of 14,500 un-dergraduate and graduate students. Boston College has drawn students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries.

Boston College has grown not just in size, but also in stature and di-versity. Today, it is ranked among the top 34 national universities by US News & World Report. Its Graduate School of Social Work is listed among the nation’s top 15, also by US News, while the graduate pro-grams of its Lynch School of Education are among the top 20 and its Connell School of Nursing and Law School are among the top 30. In ad-dition, eight undergraduate programs of the Carroll School of Manage-ment placed among the top 10 in the nation according to BusinessWeek, with accounting placing first in its category. Boston College is among the nation’s most selective universities, with nearly 30,000 applications

received for its 2,250-member Class of 2013, and is numbered among the top American private research universities.

After more than a century of growth and evolution, Boston College holds fast to the ideals that inspired its Jesuit founders. The University today remains focused on its mission of helping students to develop their minds and talents while providing them with the motivation and compas-sion to use those talents in the service of other

“Deeply rooted in its Catholic and Jesuit origins, Boston College offers an education that is distinctive in spirit and content, that is doubly rich with the best of human thought and with the profound insights of faith,” writes Reverend William P. Leahy, SJ, who assumed the presidency of Boston College in 1996. “We believe that Boston College provides a transform-ing experience for young men and women.”

A continued expression of this philosophy, based on the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care for the individual, is the faculty’s dedication to

27

teaching. BC faculty members have been honored for their teaching by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Education, while the University’s overall commitment to teaching has been ranked among the nation’s top 20, also by US News & World Report.

A Boston College education focuses not only on intellectual development, but also on personal, spiritual and physical development. Students are asked to use their abilities, education and acquired skills to help others in need, whether in Boston or Belize. Each year, more than 5,000 under-graduates give some 375,000 hours of community service in the Boston area, while more than 650 students trade vacation for service during Spring Break. Nearly 2,000 students take part in retreats and spiritual formation activities annually.

Today, the Boston College motto “ever to excel” also extends to a broad array of extracurricular activities and opportunities ranging from sports to the arts. Athletics is integral to the University’s focus on the devel-opment of the whole person in body as well as in mind and spirit. BC offers 31 men’s and women’s varsity sports, all of which compete at the NCAA Division I level, and annually has one of the highest graduation rates in Division IA.

BC offers a wide variety of resources that enrich intellectual and cultural life beyond the campus gates. Among these are the Jesuit Institute; Cen-ter for Ignatian Spirituality; Center for Catholic Education; Church in the 21st Century Center; Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life; Center for Human Rights and International Justice; Center for Christian-Jewish Learning; Winston Center for Leadership and Ethics; Center on Wealth and Philanthropy; Center for Retirement Research; Sloan Center on Aging and Work; Center for the Study of Testing, Evaluation and Edu-cational Policy; TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center; Center for International Higher Education; Burns Library of Rare Books and Special Collections; Robsham Theater Arts Center; McMullen Museum of Art; Center for Child, Family and Community Partnerships; Center for Corpo-rate Citizenship; Center for Work and Family; Center for Irish Programs; Urban Ecology Institute and Weston Observatory.
