Geoff Davison will be taking over as head coach to men's team.
Assistant professor of exercise science and physical education at LSC, Geoff Davison is succeeding Mike Smookler as head coach of the men's tennis team. Smookler is taking a teaching position in New Jersey.
Davison is a 1980 graduate of the University of Sheffield. "I have taught tennis and the high school and collegiate level for more than 20 years and have offered the sport several times as an activity course in various teacher preparation programs," he said.
"The first order of business is to increase our number and build the program," Davison stated. Filling the roster will be an important step toward potentially winning the North Atlantic Conference title. John Kennedy, Peter Dutile, and Matt Lentes all are returning players as well.
The outlook of the men's tennis team seems positive with the addition of Davison. "We are fortunate to have a person with Geoff's background and expertise to fill this position, " LSC Director of Athletics Chris Ummer said.
The 2009 season at LSC opens with a road match on March 15th. The Hornets will travel to Castleton State College for the game at 1 p.m.
