BOSTON, Mass. -- After being crowned Great Northeast Athletic Conference Tennis Champions for the fifth consecutive year Sunday afternoon, the Sharks swept the GNAC Tennis All-Conference awards announced Monday.

Sharks junior Margaret Teague (Manchester, N.H.) was named the 2012 GNAC Tennis Player of the Year for her impressive 5-0 record in the conference this season at #1 singles. Her tenacity and consistency paced Simmons throughout the fall. She partnered with freshman Meghan Cokely (Haverhill, Mass.) at the #1 doubles position and the duo did not disappoint, finishing with a 5-1 record in the conference.

Meghan Cokely also received top honors Monday, as she was named the 2012 GNAC Tennis Rookie of the Year. Cokely went undefeated in the conference at #3 singles with an impressive 5-0 record and only dropped two matches all season to finish with an overall singles record of 11-2.

Both Teague and Cokely were also named to the 2012 GNAC Tennis All-Conference First Team Singles and Second Team Doubles, while senior Sabrina Salmela (Beverly, Mass.) and freshman Rachael Downey (Groveland, Mass.) each received Second Team Singles honors. Salmela was also voted by her peers to the All-Conference Sportsmanship Team.
