    Enriquez's first year was a smash hit
by Jeanine Noce
assistant sports editor
Ramon Enriquez's, in just his first year
on Behrend's tennis team, managed to win
the third doubles all conference
tournamenethis past weekend with partner
Bill Weisberg. The team was able to
achieve their goals.
Enriquez and his other 11 teammates
competed in the AMCC tournament, held
at the Pennbriar athletic club. Enriquez and
Weisberg were able to achieve four points
in their match against Frostburg State and
claimed the title.
"My will to win is the aspect that I
brought to the team," said Enriquez. He
has only played tennis for two years - in
first and second singles during his senior
year in high school on the varsity tennis
team. Enriquez played N 0.3 doubles and
N 0.6 singles on the varsity team.
"My forehand and also when my serve
was on were my two strengths," said
Enriquez. He gained these two strengths
throughout the season and by practicing.
The team conditioned before the beginning
of the season and also practiced every
Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 p.m. until
9:30 p.m.
"Classes are not that demanding this
year, due to it being my senior year. I found
that being involved in both was not an
obstacle," said Enriquez. He is also a
member of OLAS (Organization of Latino
American Students), for which he held the

"All of the guys on the team are very
nice and we all have had a good time
throughout the season. Joining the team

wanted to join the team last year, however,
he was unable to. He believes Coach Jeff

in the AMCC regular season and he also
had a winning record in third singles and
third doubles. This was his first year and
he came out as a senior. Overall, he did a
good job, played hard, was reliable, was a
good asset to the team and he worked hard
at practice," said Barger.
