NEC Men’s Tennis Co-Rookie of the Month
Whalley made his first month of collegiate play a memorable one by advancing to the “B” flight singles final at the USTA BJK NTC Men’s College Invitational at the National Tennis Center. Right off the bat he eliminated top-seeded Christian Vieira of Monmouth, 6-1, 6-3, then rolled into the semis with a 6-1, 6-0 win over St. Francis Brooklyn’s Francesc Terns-Campius. Whalley then defeated NJIT’s Holger Norregaad, 6-1, 6-1, in the semifinals before coming up short, 6-3, 6-1, in the final against third-seeded Sebastian Hagn of Youngstown State.
