CSAC Announces Women's Tennis End-of-Year Awards for 2022-2023

VILLANOVA, Pa. -  The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) is proud to announce the 2023 All-CSAC Women’s Tennis team.  The team, composed of players from all six CSAC institutions that sponsor women’s tennis, was voted upon by the coaches in the league.
 
The team includes first, second, and honorable mention All-CSAC honorees in both singles and doubles play.  Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, and Coach of the Year were awarded as well as All-Sportsmanship honorees.  The student-athletes were nominated by their coaches and voted upon by the conference’ six head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own players.
 
For the third-straight season, Player of the Year went to Cairn University senior Paige Kemper (Lancaster, PA / Garden Spot HS).  The 2022 and 2021 Co-Player of the Year, Kemper went undefeated in CSAC play in 2023.  Playing at No. 1 singles, Kemper was 10-5 overall with a perfect 5-0 in CSAC matches while only dropping 6 games in CSAC play.  In doubles play, Kemper partnered with fellow CSAC First-Team honoree Ersy Neal (Wayne, PA / Delaware County Christian School) for a 7-2 overall record with a perfect 5-0 mark in CSAC doubles play while only dropping 4 games in CSAC play. 
 
Rookie of the Year was awarded to Rebekah Hepp (Reading, PA / Exeter) from Cairn University.  The sophomore returned from missing her first year due to a high school injury and posted a perfect 5-0 record in CSAC league matches playing at No. 5 singles. 
 
Coach of the Year was presented to Kevin Jackson from Cairn University. Jackson led the Cairn University women’s tennis team to 10-5 overall record, a perfect 5-0 in CSAC play, and a fourth-straight CSAC Women’s Tennis Championship this spring.  The honor in 2023 is the fourth Coach of the Year honor for Jackson (2023, 2022, 2021, 2019).
