BABSON PARK, Mass.—Babson College associate head tennis coach
Alan Dubrovsky was selected as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division III Northeast Region Men's Tennis Assistant Coach of the Year on Monday afternoon.
Now in his third season at Babson, Dubrovsky has played a major role in the team's historic 2024-25 campaign, which culminated in reaching the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals for the first time in program history. The Beavers set a new single-season record with 22 victories, which includes knocking off a pair of top-10 foes, and defeated No. 36 Stevens and No. 8 Bowdoin in the Brunswick Regional back on May 9-10.
Babson captured its second New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) regular season title in three seasons and defeated MIT for the first time in school history in the conference tournament final to punch its ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021 in late April.
Under Dubrovsky's tutelage, first-year
Edward Wang (Burr Ridge, Ill.) set a new single-season record with 24 singles victories, while seniors
Ole Lepsoe (Oslo, Norway) and
Brady Anderson (Rochester, N.Y.), junior
Alexander Merson (Palisades Park, N.J.) and first-year
Sebastian Mendoza (Weston, Fla.) all surpassed the previous single-season mark of 16 doubles wins this spring. Dubrovsky, along with head coach
Michael Kopelman and assistant
Mihir Auty, were selected as the NEWMAC Coaching Staff of the Year, while six players earned all-conference honors.
Along with helping the men to the most successful season in school history, Dubrovsky also helped the Babson women go 15-7 while reaching the second round of the NCAA Tournament this spring.
The Babson men saw their year come to a close late Monday night with a hard-fought 4-1 loss to No. 1 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
