Gruber grabs second team all-conference singles accolades

Emma Gruber ’17 has earned all-conference accolades from the Commonwealth Coast Conference. For the second time in her career, Gruber was selected to the second team all-conference singles.

Gruber has played the entire season at the top singles position for the first time in her career. As a sophomore, she played 11 of her 14 singles matches at No. 1, and as a junior, she played once in the top singles spot with 11 matches at the second spot. In addition to singles play, the senior captain has led the squad with seven appearances at No. 1 doubles this season, and 34 overall.

“Emma’s the definition of a team player and a student-athlete,” said head coach Peter Torgrimson. “Her teammates look up to her as a great example on the court and in the classroom.”

Gruber and classmate Taylor Amendola ’17 will be recognized on Senior Day when the Seahawk tennis programs host Johnson & Wales University at noon Sunday, Oct. 16.
