NCCU's Hampton Named CIAA Tennis Player of the
Year
Eagles' Run at Repeat Championship Falls Short
in Finals
RICHMOND, VA -- North Carolina Central University
cruised into the 1999 CIAA Tennis Championship final on Saturday (April
17) with hopes of repeating as conference champions.
In the finals, the Eagles took a 2-1 lead after
doubles play against Johnson C. Smith University. After NCCU's No.
1 seed Jason Hampton and No. 2 seed Cedric Watkins each posted
convincing singles wins, the Eagles needed just one more singles victory
to wrap up the conference championship. It was the Golden Bulls,
however, that won the last four singles matches to earn the 1999 CIAA Tennis
Championship at East End Park in Durham.
Senior Jason Hampton (New Orleans, LA) was
honored as the 1999 CIAA Tennis Player of the Year, the Central Intercollegiate
Athletic Association announced Friday (April 16).
