2015 senior Chris Simich earns graduation honor
Former University of Louisville men's tennis player Chris Simich has been named the Outstanding December 2015 Graduate for the Department of Economics.
Â
Simich, a native of Auckland, New Zealand, played for the Cardinals from 2011-15. The four-year starter finished his career tied for fifth on Louisville's all-time singles wins list with 100. The 2014 American All-Conference Doubles selection was a three-time Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar Athlete and was on the Dean's List in each of his semesters at Louisville.
Â
"Chris Simich was a very important player for us," said UofL head coach Rex Ecarma. "He clinched matches, won often and was a role model of what a Cardinal tennis player should be like. His on-court record speaks for itself. He is also an accomplished scholar-athlete culminating in his most recent honor of 'Outstanding Graduate' of the Business School's Department of Economics. With these attributes, you can see how much I enjoyed coaching him. He has a very bright future."
