1. Rafe Mosetick, Senior Captain, Hinsdale, IL
Rafe is entering his final year at Emory and has been tasked with leading a young and talented group of players. Rafe has had an outstanding career at Emory and has been one of the hardest working players that has ever passed through this program. Rafe has been close to winning the ITA regional title the past couple of years and unfortunately, missed the 2015 NCAA singles tournament by one spot. Rafe compiled and undefeated record playing 3 singles last season and deserved a chance to compete in the individuals. Rafe used last year's disappointment to fuel his amazing fall run. Rafe won the 2015 ITA Atlantic South Regional singles title and finished 2nd at the ITA National Small College tournament. Rafe proved this past fall that he is one of the best players in D-3 and will be a force to be reckoned with in 2016.
