WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University men's tennis team honored two student-athletes at its 2011 awards banquet to close out the season. Head Coach Gordie Ernst and Assistant Coach Mike Goodwin presented the team's top honors following the 2011 season.

Sophomore Charlie Caris (Des Moines, Iowa/Theodore Roosevelt) was named the team MVP after a solid season. He went 11-15 on the year with a mark of 5-5 at No. 1 singles and 3-3 at No. 2, as well as a record of 1-2 in BIG EAST play. Caris posted a six-match win streak at one point in the season.
