In doubles play, senior Jesse Kight from Williamsport paired with senior Zack Burkhart from Milton to secure a 2-1 record. The pairs of Langbein-Kight and Langbein-Shuler both finished with a record of 2-2.

On the women's side, freshman Lauren Peck from South Williamsport led her team with a 3-4 performance at No. 2 singles. In doubles matches, freshman Emma Fox from Myerstown and junior Georgia Macensky from Wellsboro each recorded two wins.

Interim coach Britni Mohney reflected on the season: "It was a good year for our tennis players," she said. "With so many first-year players coming in and out of the order, the team was able to adapt well and compete at the highest level throughout the spring. The players worked hard to push themselves daily, creating some memorable matches against their opponents."

Looking ahead, Mohney acknowledged that "we lose some important pieces to the puzzle after graduation but are excited to see what next season holds."

Postseason honors were awarded to Paul Langbein (Carnegie) who made it onto the UE All-Sportsmanship Team for men’s tennis and Ellen Buckley (Binghamton, New York) who received similar recognition for women’s tennis.
