Hall of Fame
The 1969 Bulldog men’s tennis team came within one point, which was decided in the final doubles match, of winning the NCAA College Division Championship. The foursome of Ron Selkirk, Dave Romberg, Ken Clow and Kurt Marin accumulated 16 points, one shy of champion San Fernando Valley State in the 30 teams entered in the event hosted in East Stroudsburg, Pa. Selkirk advanced to the semifinals of the national singles bracket and finished the season with an 18-5 mark while Romberg advanced to the quarterfinals before having his tournament come to an end. The duo was seeded first in the doubles draw and reached the finals before being defeated 6-3, 8-6 to finish as national runners-up. The team finished 12-2 in dual matches during the 1969 season and went on to claim their sixth straight MIAA Championship. Coached by H.A. Walmsely, other members of the 1969 squad were Fontaine Piper, Mike Darr and Ron Sterchi.
