Cecil wins award as nation’s top player
Mallory Cecil and Nick Bollettieri
Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy alum, Mallory Cecil, won the Honda Sports Award as the top player in women’s tennis. Cecil has spent five years training at the NBTA and still comes to train during the off-season.
Cecil had a 32-4 record in leading Duke to the NCAA team title, and she also won the individual NCAA single’s title as a freshman. She beat out three other finalists — Aurelija Miseviciute of Arkansas, Maria Mosolova of Northwestern and Laura Vallverdu of Miami.
Cecil is eligible for the Honda-Broderick Cup, given to the college female athlete of the year. The winner will be announced June 22 in New York.
Congratulations to Mallory on a job well done and keep up the great work!
