MOBILE, Ala. – Christiaan Lee-Daigle's (Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada, L'Essor Secondary School) success at the USTA/ITA Southeast Regionals granted the senior tennis player a spot in the USTA/ITA National Small College Championships, held October 13-16 at the Copeland-Cox Tennis Center in Mobile, Ala. The Championships are comprised of the eight regional champions (and/or at-large selections) from NCAA Divisions II and III, NAIA and Junior/Community Colleges.

The USTA/ITA National Small College Championship is the only national championship event for singles and doubles at the NCAA Division II and NAIA levels. It is also the only tournament that combines all levels of Junior/Community College (NJCAA Divisions I and III and the California division).

Lee Daigle entered the event seeded fourth facing Uno Lapimaa of Lewis in the opening round. He picked up the win in two sets by scores of 6-4 and 6-3 advancing to the semifinals. Lee-Daigle then competed against top-seeded Lucas Jovita of Rollins College falling 6-4, 6-2. In the consolation game, Lee-Daigle battled it out with Hans Hach of Abilene Christian falling 6-4, 6-2 and ending the national event in fourth place.

Tennis ends their fall season with great expectations for the spring after Lee-Daigle's spectacular play in the fall as he accumulated a singles record of 11-2.
