NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — For the second year in a row, Davidson's sophomore tandem of Shamael Chaudhry and Artem Khrapko earned all-conference honors as voted on by the league's coaches with the release today of the Atlantic 10 men's tennis all-conference teams and academic team.
Chaudhry was named to the first team for the second consecutive season, while Khrapko earned a spot on the second team after garnering first team honors last year.
The duo helped the Wildcats to another double-digit winning season, finishing at 11-10 overall and 4-1 in league play. They combined for 20 wins in singles at the top two positions, while adding another 16 victories in doubles matches.
A native of Walsall, United Kingdom, Chaudhry represented Davidson at the top singles slot the majority of the season. He went 7-9 at No. 1 and finished with a 9-11 record overall, getting a pair of wins at the No. 2 position. The sophomore went 2-2 in league matches, picking up wins against Duquesne and Saint Joseph's. Through two seasons, Chaudhry has collected 21 singles wins.
He was part of the Wildcats' top doubles team this year, teaming with J.B. Gough to go a team-best 8-5, including 6-4 at No. 1.
Chaudhry earned his third career A-10 weekly award, March 22, by being named player of the week. He went a combined 4-1 during the week in singles and doubles in matches against Duquesne, Saint Joseph's and Elon.
Khrapko followed up his solid freshman debut season with a nice second year by going 11-6 in singles action. All 11 wins came at the No. 2 position and he finished with a 4-1 record in league matches. Twice he ran off three-match winning streaks and finished the year strong, winning six of his last nine matches. With his 11 wins, the Corning, N.Y., native has won 26 matches in his first two seasons.
In doubles play, Khrapko went 8-7 on the year, teaming up mainly with Zack Zapatero at No. 3 to go 6-6. He played once with Chaudhry in an A-10 match vs. George Mason and they earned a 6-3 decision at No. 1. The sophomore ended the year well in doubles action as well, taking home wins in four of his last six matches.
VCU senior Michal Voscek and Dayton freshman Jordan Benjamin were named the Atlantic 10 Conference Men's Tennis Most Outstanding Performer and Rookie Performer of the Year, respectively. George Washington's Torrie Browning was named coach of the year.
