CORTLAND, N.Y. – Samantha Engebrecht and Jessica Paquette of the Plattsburgh State women’s tennis team have been named to the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) All-Conference Second Team. The honors mark the first all-conference nods for the Cardinals since 2007.
 
Engebrecht and Paquette represented the first doubles pairing on the second team. The Cardinal pair finished the 2012 season with a 9-3 record, including a 4-2 record against SUNYAC opponents.

Paquette is a three-time Academic All-SUNYAC honoree and has appeared on the Commissioner’s List twice.
