PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Little East Conference (LEC) announced its 2022 Women’s Tennis All-LEC selections and major award recipients Wednesday, following a vote of the league’s head coaches. Rhode Island College senior Jenna Lisi was once again named the LEC Player of the Year honors. UMass Boston had a pair of major award winners, as freshman Ayra Shaikh was named LEC Rookie of the Year and head coach Harshana Godamanna was named LEC Coach of the Year.
This marks the fourth consecutive LEC Player of the Year honor for Lisi, who posted a 7-0 record in conference play at No. 1 singles this season in addition to going 8-0 at No. 1 doubles. She wrapped up the 2022 season with an overall singles record of 11-0 and a doubles record of 12-1, all at the No. 1 positions in the lineup.
Shaikh was named LEC Rookie of the Year after posting a 6-0 singles record and 5-0 doubles record in league play this season. Her overall record is 9-1 in singles play, splitting time between No. 2 and No. 3, and she is 8-1 in doubles action where she’s primarily played at No. 2. Shaikh is just the second Beacon to be named the LEC Rookie of the Year, the first was Nuha Muntasser in 2013.
Godamanna became the first-ever UMass Boston head coach to be named LEC Coach of the Year after guiding the Beacons to the first LEC regular season and tournament championship wins in program history. They will enter the spring season with an overall record of 10-1, which included a perfect 8-0 mark in conference matches.
