With the annual Stockton Athletics awards brunch canceled this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Stockton Athletics is saluting its student-athletes via this virtual awards recognition. All 19 intercollegiate teams are represented with videos featuring seniors and award winners.
For spring sports, award winners from the previous season are featured along with seniors from the current season due to the usual timing of the brunch on the last Sunday in April. Videos for the spring sports teams include awards from Spring 2019 along with seniors from Spring 2020.
In addition to the seniors and award winners, this virtual awards recognition includes highlight videos from two conference championship teams, 2019 Men's Lacrosse and 2019 Volleyball, plus the announcement of the Stockton Male and Female Athletes of the Year.
Two Stockton University freshmen and head coach Harry Silverstein received NJAC postseason honors in women's tennis. Elena Nunez (Madrid, Spain/Rye (N.Y.)) was voted NJAC Rookie of the Year and Silverstein was chosen NJAC Coach of the Year.
Nunez also was selected NJAC All-Conference in singles and in doubles along with partner and fellow freshman Audrey van Schalkwyk (Haddon Heights/Paul VI). Nunez played No. 1 singles and went 11-3 overall, including 5-1 in conference play this season. She fashioned a seven-match winning streak from September 7-29.
The Stockton women's tennis team added a pair of talented freshmen to its roster full of veterans, and the result was a 9-1 record during the fall season. An early setback to perennial NJAC powerhouse The College of New Jersey in the first week of the season was followed by an eight-match winning streak the rest of the way.
