The College of Wooster's Joaquin Abos Amo earned All-North Coast Athletic Conference honors in singles and doubles, while junior Austin Hanna and first-year Shivam Dewan earned all-conference certificates in singles and doubles, respectively, as announced by the league office on Friday.

Abos Amo, now a three-time all-conference performer, anchored Wooster's lineup, posting a 4-7 record in singles and a 4-8 ledger in doubles, while consistently squaring off against some of the top talent within the NCAA Div. III Central and Atlantic South Regions. Seven of Wooster's 12 matches came against teams in the NCAA Div. III Championships, while two others came against regionally-ranked teams. Abos Amo, who helped Wooster achieve a regional ranking this spring, had signature wins this spring against national qualifier Case Western Reserve University's Vishwa Aduru (7-5, 7-6) and Oberlin College's Elliot Nuss (6-3, 5-7, 6-3).

Hanna, a two-time All-NCAC honoree, took down Kenyon College's Jack Wagner 6-1, 7-5 in the second flight on April 18, in what marked the Scots' first win over the Lords since 1999. He also was victorious against Oberlin's Sean Billerbeck 7-5, 6-4. On the year, he went 2-5 in singles.

Dewan, who went 3-7 in doubles, posted a 2-3 mark when playing with Abos Amo in the top flight. There, the duo won 8-3 and 8-4 against Allegheny College's Adam Shinomiya and Mackenzie Knowlton. Elsewhere, Dewan and first-year Vakul Nath scored an 8-4 win over Oberlin's James Dill and Ben Echikson, during the Scots' first win over the Yeomen since 2010.
