SCC To Hold Postseason Tournaments for Boys and Girls Tennis in 2006

4/11/06

The Southern Connecticut Conference will hold its first postseason tournament for boys and girls tennis this coming May, the league’s Athletic Directors announced. There will be a four-team, single-elimination tournament between the four regular-season division champions (Hammonasset, Housatonic, Oronoque and Quinnipiac).

The semifinals will be played on Saturday, May 27 at 11:30 a.m. followed by the championship matches at 3:30 p.m. The girls tournament will be held at Amity Regional High School, while the boys will be contested at Hamden High School. Final playoff pairings will be determined at the conclusion of the 2006 regular season.

“This is another positive step for the conference because our tennis student-athletes and teams can now compete for a SCC championship,” said SCC Commissioner Al Carbone. “I give credit to the tennis coaches for recognizing this positive opportunity and seeing it through.”

With the addition of the boys and girls tennis playoffs, the SCC now hosts postseason tournaments for 23 of its 26 interscholastic sponsored sports.
