ABOUT THE COACH
Head coach Hovan begins his fifth season in Loretto and has helped both the men's and women's teams to new heights. In 2023-24, he was named NEC Coach of the Year after helping the men reach their second NEC Championship Game. Last season, the women's tennis team made the NEC Championship Game for the first time in program history. 

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'
Men's tennis standout Sophomore  Kevin Titus Suresh had a fall slate to remember, further cementing himself as a star in this already talent-filled team. Across the six tournaments Suresh appeared in, the underclassmen posted a team-high 10-6 record, putting him on the path to claiming his first NEC Singles Championship, which in turn earned him a spot in the ITA Masters in San Diego in early November.
