As the men’s tennis program all-time record holder with 97 career singles wins, John T. Lamendola helped the Terriers reach the conference final four consecutive seasons from 1992-96 and graduated having captured three conference championships. A three-time All-North Atlantic Conference (NAC) honoree, he served as team captain his last two seasons and claimed the Department’s John B. Simpson Award on the basis of his leadership.
As a freshman primarily playing No. 3 singles, Lamendola posted a 22-7 record and added 16 wins his sophomore season en route to his first conference title. He moved up to the top slot his junior year and quickly proved he belonged, winning his final 13 matches to finish the season at 26-9 and eventually break the previous program record of 65 singles wins. His senior year, he won the Army Invitational singles title in the fall and went on to tabulate a stellar 33 wins against just eight losses, as the Terriers hoisted their third NAC championship trophy in four years.
