A true teacher of the game of tennis, Rauseo has seen 66 all-conference honors come to his players, including 50 for singles play, while three of his student-athletes have received GNAC Player of the Year accolades. As a testament to his ability to recruit premier talent and hone their skills, six of his newcomers have earned Rookie of the Year status from the conference.
