Men's Tennis Earn ITA Team Sportsmanship Award

The Eagles are battling for a first-round win in the ACC Tournament

Scott Wilkins enters his ninth season as head coach of the Boston College men's tennis team.

Wilkins led a slew of Eagles to deep runs at the ITA Regional Tournament and Alabama Invitational during the fall of the 2010-11 campaign. BC went 8-18 in the spring. Akash Muppidi became the first Eagle to participate in the Main Draw of the prestigious D'Novo All-American Tennis Championship. Additionally, Muppidi received a final Northeast Regional ranking of No. 4 and became BC's first two-time All-ACC Team honoree.

In 2009, the Eagles went 14-13 - their best finish since joining the ACC in 2005. That same season he garnered recognition as the 2009 ITA Northeast Region Coach of the Year.

Prior to joining Boston College, Wilkins was the head coach at Merrimack College. From 1999-2002, he was a full-time assistant coach at Massachusetts, coordinating the program's recruiting effort, while also being involved with academics, conditioning, scheduling and budgeting. His contributions helped the Minutemen to a second-place finish in the 2000 Atlantic 10 Tournament, its highest finish ever.

Prior to that, Wilkins was the head men's and women's tennis coach at Babson College for two seasons. During his time with the Beavers, he coached David Weisman to the 1998 Division III individual national championship.

Following a successful playing career at the University of North Carolina Charlotte, Wilkins broke into the collegiate ranks with his first coaching job at his alma mater as an assistant for the 1996-97 season.

The four-year letter-winner completed his career ranked 10th on the school's career singles list and was voted team captain in his senior year (1993-94).

Wilkins has also served as assistant tennis professional at the Weymouth Tennis Club from 1989-94 and as a tennis professional at Wellesley Tennis Club (1994-96, 1997-99). Additionally, he was the boys' varsity tennis coach at Milton High School in the spring of 1997.
