• Alicia Menezes '08

It's become an annual tradition for tennis player Alicia Menezes '08 to bring home the doubles title at the ITA Women's Div. III New England Championships. This year, Menezes took the crown with first-year Brittany Berckes as her partner-the first time that the junior has been the more experienced half of the winning duo. Both Menezes and Berckes add all-American honors to their list of achievements. Menezes was no slouch in the singles action as well, and was the sole Jeff to fight all the way to the semifinals. Watch for more excellent tennis from this Jeff-and for her to add a fourth ITA title to her collection next year.
