Additionally, he became the second coach in Bowdoin men’s tennis history to earn NESCAC Coach of the Year honors.
During the 2016 season, the men’s team reached the NESCAC championship and broke the program record for wins in a season by winning their 20th match for the National Championship. Smith earned NESCAC as well as the ITA National Coach of the Year honors for the team’s achievements.
