WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University men's tennis team announced its 2010 award winners at a team dinner on Saturday in Georgetown. Head Coach Gordie Ernst and Assistant Coach Adam Gross presented two outstanding student-athletes with the team's top awards for the 2010 season.

Sophomore Andrew Bruhn (Storrs, Conn./E.O. Smith) earned Most Valuable Player after a solid campaign going 9-8 overall with an impressive mark of 7-4 at No. 5 singles. Bruhn also played No. 1 doubles and went 7-11 with partner Bryan Miller (Henderson, Nev./Coronado). This season, Bruhn went on a seven-match win streak which included victories over conference-rivals Connecticut and Villanova.

Senior Will Lowell (Nahant, Mass./Saddlebrook Prep) won the Coaches Award for his attitude, athleticism and leadership throughout the season. Lowell, a team captain, played most of the year at No. 4 singles going 6-9 and also went 2-3 at No. 3 singles. Lowell spent most of the season playing No. 2 doubles with classmate Anthony Tan (Jakarta, Indonesia/Anglo-Chinese Junior College) and was 2-0.

Georgetown finished the year with a mark of 10-12 after earning a berth in the BIG EAST Tournament, but falling in the first round to Notre Dame. The Hoyas will lose three key players to graduation including Tan, Lowell and David Tillem (Atlanta, Ga./The Weber School), but return a solid core next season.
