Coach Terry Bocian AQ Athletic Hall of Fame
Led by Coach Chuck Frydrych and assistant Terry Abel, the 1969 Men's Tennis Team brought some well-deserved
attention to Aquinas by posting a 12-3 season record against outstanding competition that year. The team caught fire at
the season's end, defeating NAIA heavy weights Ferris State and Eastern Michigan as well as a host of other school to
win the first NAIA State Men's Tennis Championship in Aquinas History. That title catapulted the team to the 1969 NAIA
National Tournament in Kansas City , where they finished eighth nationally out of 38 schools. The finish represents the
College's second highest team finishes in Aquinas' history.
