May 3, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — DePauw University senior Janelle Arita has been selected the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) women's tennis player of the year for the second consecutive
year, while her coach, Scott Riggle, has been named the conference's women's coach of the year for the fourth straight season. The Tigers, ranked #17 in NCAA Division III, won the conference championship for the fourth consecutive year.
"Arita, a senior from Mililani, Hawaii, posted a 22-8 singles
record (88-24 in her career) and is currently ranked third in the
Central region in singles play," notes the SCAC's announcement. "A three time all-American, Arita
has posted a 26-7 doubles record (91-28 in her career) this season
with teammate and all-SCAC performer Kelly Gebert. In the winter,
Arita posted a 2-4 overall record (singles/doubles) at the 2011
Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division III Women's
Indoor National Championship to help the Tigers to a seventh-place
finish." 
Arita, who has won ten straight singles matches, was featured in the April 20 edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
Riggle has now been named the SCAC's top women's tennis coach for seven of the last nine years. "His 17th-ranked
Tigers earned their fourth straight SCAC title after defeating
19th-ranked Sewanee, 7-2, in the 2011 SCAC championship match.
Riggle has compiled a 195-77 record in 11 seasons at DePauw,
