SUWANEE, Ga. - In exclusive voting by the head coaches in the league, Janelle Arita of DePauw University has been selected the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) Women’s Tennis Player-of-the-Year. In that same balloting, DePauw’s Scott Riggle was voted Women’s Coach-of-the-Year.
For the sixth time in eight years, DePauw’s Riggle has been recognized by his peers as the SCAC Women’s Tennis Coach-of-the-Year. Only Butch Newman of Trinity (eight times) has more women’s tennis COTY awards than Riggle. Riggle’s ninth-ranked Tigers earned their third straight SCAC title after defeating 30th-ranked Sewanee, 9-0, in the SCAC championship match. Riggle has compiled a 182-69 record in 10 seasons at DePauw, including this year’s 20-4 mark, and led the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth consecutive year.
