Lafayette College Athletics

The 1983 men's tennis team, coached by the late Pete Tomaino and captained by Bob Beck (1^st singles, 1^st doubles) and Sal Lomanto (4^th singles, 3^rd doubles), will be the 20th induction since teams were first eligible in 2012-13. Other members included Mark Delehey, Brad Demsky (5^th singles, 2^nd doubles), Rob Lyles (3^rd doubles), Rick Stassa (3^rd singles, 1^st doubles), Nick Greenfield (2^nd singles, 2^nd doubles), Pete Gruenberg and Ed Duffy (6^th singles).
 
The program finished the season with a perfect 14-0 mark, the most victories in a single season, on the way to an East Coast Conference championship. During the ECC Championship, their second time in three years, five players won or finished as a runner-up in their flights, pushing the team to the largest margin of victory in conference tournament history. For the first time in program history, Lafayette defeated Colgate, Rutgers, Temple and Haverford and secured a team title at the Scranton Invitational/College Bowl Tournament. Additionally, the Leopards claimed a No. 10 ranking in the NCAA's eastern region as the team shared a fall ECAC title with Franklin and Marshall.
