Our Senior Day series will highlight Islander senior student-athletes who participated in a 2020 spring sport and did not have the opportunity to experience their senior day ceremony. The student-athletes featured in this series have elected not to use the additional year of eligibility granted by the NCAA and will be pursuing further educational endeavors and/or beginning their professional lives. Please join us in recognizing this wonderful group of Islander seniors.
Islanders Tennis: William Mottet
In his own words:
From head coach Steve Moore:
"William had an amazing career. He played #1 singles on team that advanced to the NCAA Championships in 2019. He was captain of a team that reached #65 nationally in NCAA D-1. I'm not sure people realize how difficult that is and how much that takes. He won two Southland titles and was a 3.5 GPA student. I will always remember him for how much he loved the team and what a special relationship we had."
