Trophy Shelf
Sophia Dzulynsky (Miramar, Florida) has picked up quite a bit of hardware over the past two weeks. She was named the MAAC Women's Tennis Player of the Year for the second time in her career after winning the award in 2014 and 2016. She was the first player in program history to twice be named player of the year. She was also named All-MAAC First Team at No. 1 singles and all-MAAC Second Team at No. 2 doubles. On Sunday, May 8, Dzulynsky was then named the Quinnipiac Female Athlete of the Year.
Coach of the Year
Paula Miller earned her second consecutive MAAC Women's Tennis Coach of the Year Award at the league awards banquet on April 29. Miller led the Bobcats to their third consecutive MAAC Championship regular season and later their third consecutive MAAC Tournament Championship. Miller is now 19-0 in two seasons of MAAC play as the head coach and boasts a 29-19 overall record since taking the helm.
All-MAAC Honors
Every player in the Bobcats starting six earned All-MAAC Honors in both singles and doubles play for the second consecutive season.
