GEORGETOWN, TX- The SCAC has announced that Senior Steven Tibbetts was named the 2023 SCAC Men's Elite 19 award winner. 

Steven Tibbetts graduated with a degree in Economics and a minor in Communication Studies, and earned First Team All-SCAC honors this season - his second consecutive First Team selection. He finished the year with a 12-7 overall record with much of his play coming at the No. 2 and No. 3 singles line and was a team captain. This was the second consecutive year that Tibbetts has won the Elite 19 Award. 

Southwestern University swept both Elite 19 tennis awards this spring - giving the institution its 22nd and 23rd all-time winners of the award, the most of any SCAC institution.

Established prior to the 2018-19 academic year and meant to recognize the best of the best within each conference sponsored-sport as it relates to both academic and athletic achievement, the SCAC Elite 19 is awarded to the student-athlete who has completed the equivalent of at least 60 credit hours at his or her current institution and has at least a cumulative 3.25 GPA. The student-athlete must also have earned All-SCAC First or Second Team honors in his/her sport for that particular season.
