Byerly Earns First Team All-Conference
Senior Warrior Ready for Individual MACs

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—Lycoming tennis player Mike Byerly (West Milton, PA/Lewisburg) was selected first team All-Freedom Conference for his impressive play in 2007.

Byerly, a senior, has been a Warrior tennis mainstay for four seasons and was recognized as second team all-conference in 2006. His 2-4 record this year belies the fact that his competition at number-one singles was intense.

The highlight of Byerly’s singles season came against fellow first team all-conference Adam Geiger of FDU-Florham. Byerly dismantled Geiger in straight sets 6-4, 6-4 at Bruce Henry Park. The two may meet again at the individual MAC playoffs on Saturday, April 28 at Wilkes University.

Byerly also played number-one doubles with an array of partners. He and John Stutzman (Williamsport, PA/Loyalsock) compiled a 3-1 record on the season.

Head men’s tennis coach John Dorner said, “I’m proud of Mike and the improvement he’s shown over his career. This past year, his hard work really paid off. He’s a good guy and we’re happy to have had him here at Lycoming.”
