Jamie Zompa, Jeremy Howard Headline CCC Yearly Awards For Women’s Tennis

BEVERLY, Mass. – Endicott senior Jamie Zompa (Marlborough, Mass.) and fifth-year head coach Jeremy Howard headlined a group of seven student-athletes who were recognized on the 2016 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Women's Tennis All-Conference teams today by earning Co-Senior Scholar-Athlete and Coach of the Year awards, respectively.

Zompa, who shares the award with Western New England's Joeanna Glantz, holds a 3.96 cumulative grade point average (GPA) as an accounting major, and is now the first women's tennis player to earn CCC Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors in program history. Over her career, Zompa has claimed three Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athlete awards, and also been named to the CCC Academic All-Conference team twice.

Meanwhile, Howard is now a three-time CCC Coach of the Year honoree since his arrival in Beverly during the 2012-13 season. Throughout his five seasons at the helm of the program Howard has compiled a 72-21 record (.774), guided the Gulls to four-straight CCC titles, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament three times.
