Sophomore Nicole Chis was named the Northeast Conference Player of the Month, the league announced Tuesday, Oct. 29.
Chis, the 2012-13 NEC Rookie of the Year, took her game to another level in October, winning a pair of singles titles and a doubles championship. She first claimed the "E" flight championship at the USTA BJK NTC Women's Collegiate Invitational, where she posted a 4-0 record and ousted two of the four seeded players en route to the title, including a 6-2, 6-1 win over No. 2 seed Caroline Joyce of Princeton in the final.
Chis closed out her fall last weekend (Oct. 25-27) by capturing the "C" flight title at the NJIT Invitational. Ironically, the sophomore defeated teammate Mariya Krachok, 6-1, 2-6, 10-1, in the championship match. She also teamed with Pasricha to win the flight 1 doubles crown with an 8-7 (4) conquest of Albany's Rocio Lopez Alberca and Kirsten Scott. For the month, Chis posted a 10-1 singles record.
