UNCW men’s tennis coach and player receive postseason awards
WILMINGTON, N.C. — UNCW veteran head coach Mait DuBois earned Coach of the Year honors, and newcomer Harold Huens picked up Rookie of the Year accolades as Colonial Athletic Association officials recently doled out men’s tennis postseason awards.
DuBois, who is completing his 15th season at UNCW, was named CAA Coach of the Year for the eighth time. The successful head coach led the Seahawks to their second straight conference championship and the team’s eighth title in the last 13 years. The Seahawks have made nine NCAA Tournament appearances since his arrival in 2007-08. With eight CofY awards, DuBois is the second most decorated head coach in CAA history, trailing only former VCU skipper Paul Kostin, who won the award 10 times from 1996-2011.
Huens, from Waterloo, Belgium, joined the team this past season and made an immediate impact. He led the team with 14 singles victories (14-5) and won his last five matches of the campaign. The 6-2, 155-pounder played the No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 positions for the Seahawks. Huens won all three of his matches in the CAA Championships and becomes the fourth Seahawk since 2017 to earn CAA Rookie of the Year honors.
