W&L’s Caire, Ishida, HU’s Montoya, Budrus Garner Individual Honors
SALEM, Va. --- Washington and Lee University
placed a student-athlete at each flight of the first team in the
2010 ODAC Women’s Tennis All-Conference Teams. The
Generals’ Lauren Caire was named the ODAC Player of the Year,
while W&L’s Eric Ishida took home the top coaching
award. Hollins University saw Karen Montoya tabbed as the
ODAC Freshman of the Year and Sarah Budrus honored with the
ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete Award.
Caire, a senior from Nashville, Tenn., went a combined 7-4 in
regular season play this spring, including a 3-0 mark against ODAC
foes. She helped the Generals to their 20th
overall and ninth straight conference crown as she won at both #1
singles and #1 doubles in the title match against Hollins. In
doubles action, Caire and teammate Ellen Yeatman went 8-2 between
the #1 and #2 positions. Caire is currently rated third in
the Atlantic South Region, while she and Yeatman are slotted #2 in
the ITA’s regional doubles rankings.
Currently ranked sixth in the nation by the ITA, Washington and Lee
has won 20 ODAC titles in 25 seasons, a tradition that has
continued under Ishida. Ishida is in just his third year as
the Generals mentor, but each has been accompanied by a conference
championship and an ODAC Coach of the Year honor. Three
individual players are currently ranked in the top-25 in the
Atlantic South Region including Caire (third), Yeatman (eight) and
Ann Morris (25th).
Montoya, hailing from Delicias, Mexico, took to Hollins’
courts immediately as she went 15-1 at #1 singles in her first
season at HU. She was also solid in doubles play as she and
partner Mariah Bryant posted a 14-4 record at #2 doubles.
Montoya’s ODAC marks were equally impressive as she went 9-1
in singles and 7-3 in doubles action. Her efforts helped lead
Hollins back to the ODAC title match.
Budrus, a junior from Huntington, W.Va., boasts a 3.84 grade point
average while majoring in mathematics. A captain for Hollins,
she is an honoree on the All-ODAC Academic Team, and is an active
volunteer with Girls and Sports Day as well as the Boys and Girls
Clubs of America. On the courts, Budrus went 12-3 (8-1 ODAC)
at #2 singles and teamed with partner Anne Ailstock to go 11-7
(7-3) at #1 doubles.
