Let’s go! Exciting times as the US Open is entering the back half of the tournament and our Panthers are returning to campus to begin the new school year. Excited for a great fall season as we begin our new journey! This summer, our team put in an incredible amount of work and not only pursued their respective career paths taking on internships and other jobs, they continued to build their tennis games and competed in many tournaments across the country and even internationally.

| These two captains, Robby and Andrew, will be rejoining us in the Spring. |
Our returning players arrive back on September 5th, except for three players who will return in the spring including Andrew Mueller, Robby Ward, and Aidan Harris. We will miss the presence of these three, but we know they will be hard at work as well and will demonstrate leadership from afar until rejoin us!
The Panther roster for the 2023-2024 season is comprised of a balanced 7 upperclassmen, 3 sophomore, and 3 freshmen. Coach Andrew Thomson enters his 7th season at Middlebury as a coach and Tristan Kaye enters his 2nd season at Middlebury. We cannot wait to get started and have felt a strong sense of motivation in this group to aim toward the top of the mountain after coming so close during our last NCAA run! We look forward to posting more frequent updates on our blog throughout this season as we get back to competition as team.
2023-24 Team Roster
- Upperclassmen (spring only): Andrew Mueller, Aidan Harris, Robby Ward

One of the most fun parts of kicking off a new year is getting to know our newest team members and integrating them into our cohesive and supportive group. We have again set our sights high and want to go after some special goals this year, and one thing is certainly clear, it will take a lot of hard work and enjoying the process each step of the way if we want to give ourselves the best possible chance to success.
Our fall tournament schedule is listed below and includes hosting one event and traveling to two others. We will take on some great competition!

Fun Fact
Our Panther men have continued to crush it in the classroom, with 100% of our roster earning ITA Academic All-American status last year! That’s the way!
