Hall of Fame
During his four years at Lycoming College, Bobby Brown helped lead the men’s tennis team to 24 wins, more than the team had won in the 17 years before he had joined the team in 2008.
Brown earned his first all-conference honor as a sophomore and added another as a junior after helping lead the Warriors to the team’s first conference title in school history. That year, the team finished 10-3 overall and earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, with Brown leading the way, posting a 5-7 record at No. 1 singles and a 12-3 record with his brother, David, at No. 2 doubles.
As a senior, Brown, after playing at the No. 1 position for the last three years, moved comfortably into the No. 2 position, where he finished a perfect 6-0 in Commonwealth Conference play. He posted a career-best 8-4 record in singles play and surpassed 50 career combined wins (singles and doubles) during the season, along with winning the Commonwealth Conference Player of the Week award once.
In doubles play, the Brown brothers formed one of the top duos in the conference, as the pair advanced to the finals at the MAC Individual Championships in the second flight for the second straight year and they combined to post an 11-4 overall record and a 6-0 conference slate. He earned the conference’s MAC Scholar Athlete award and was also named a Second Team Academic All-American.
An astronomy and physics major at Lycoming, Brown also showed a love for computer science and web development during his time at the College. After graduating, he continued to work in that area, serving as an assistant website programmer with Sage Age Strategies and he also stayed involved with the tennis program, assisting the men’s team in 2012. In 2013, he returned to Lycoming College as the school’s Web Developer and he married Rebecca Reynolds ‘11, a four-year letterwinner with the women’s tennis team, less than a year later.
