MATT SEEBERGER
Men's Tennis - Sophomore

NCAA DIII Team Champion
NCAA DIII Singles Champion
NCAA DIII Doubles Champion

In one week of competition at the NCAA Division III Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships held at UC Santa Cruz, Seeberger became the third player in NCAA history to sweep the singles and doubles championships, and the first from UC Santa Cruz.

Seeberger did not drop a set as he repeated as the NCAA singles champion. He defeated Will Boe-Wiegaard of Bates, 6-2, 6-4, to inch the Slugs within one point of the team championship.

Unseeded in the doubles tournament, Seeberger and partner Matt Brunner fought their way through a difficult bracket to pull off a thrilling third-set tiebreaker (after seven match points) against top-seeded Michael Malvits and Julian Seelan of Kalamazoo to win the doubles title.

This NCAA tournament marked the first time that players on one team captured the singles, doubles and team championships in the same year.

“Matt is an amazing player and an even more amazing young man,” said UC Santa Cruz tennis coach Bob Hansen. “The growth in his leadership and maturity over the last two years has rivaled his incredible growth as a player. We all look to him to lead a young team next year as we try to recreate our championship run of 2005.”
