From the SCAC:
Bajoit, a freshman from The Woodlands, Texas, had an impressive inaugural campaign for the Pirates, advancing to the semifinals in the ITA Division III Southwest Men's Regional Championships in men's singles in September and earning a No. 47 national ranking. Bajoit went 18-4 at No. 2 singles and 14-9 at No. 1 doubles, which included wins over teams from Skidmore, Swarthmore and Redlands. The SCAC Player-of-the-Week in Week 3, Bajoit is the second Southwestern player to earn SCAC Newcomer-of-the-Year honors since the award was instituted prior to the 2014 season. Current teammate Alexis Dimanche took home the honor following the 2017 campaign.
Bajoit was the top choice on four ballots for Newcomer-of-the-Year with Austin College's Brett O'Brien picking up two first-place votes and Trinity's Cameron Krimbill receiving the remaining vote.
