Skidmore College senior Jimmy Sherpa went a combined 5-0 in singles and doubles play over three matches, helping the Thoroughbreds earn the Liberty League title and NCAA tournament bid. Sherpa and doubles partner Nick Tong earned victories at second doubles against Bard (8-4), Hobart (8-1) and RPI (8-5). He picked up the clinching singles victory at No. 2 singles in Skidmore's 5-0 win over Hobart in the semifinals. In the championship match against RPI, it was Sherpa's 7-6 (7-2), 6-2 victory at second singles that clinched the team title for the Thoroughbreds, who earned their seventh Liberty League men's tennis title, including their third in the last four years.
