1978-79
OUTLOOK
The 1978-79 edition of Husky tennis will have its
work cut out if it is to equal last year's 19-7 record.
Coach Burt Reese has lost four of his top six players
including Jim Hollister, the winningest player in BSC
history with 95 career wins . But, with the addition of
one freshman and a transfer, the Huskies should
continue their winning ways.
Reese indicates that it would be great if the team
could duplicate or better last year's accomplishments
of a trip to San Diego for Division II Nationals, second
in the Eastern Intercollegiate to E. Tennessee State,
second at the ECAC Tourney to Temple and second in
the Pennsylvania Conference.
In the fall season, the team had a 4-0 dual match
record. At the fall ECAC tournament, which included
39 east coast schools, the team finished a strong
fourth. The Huskies were able to finish fourth in their
own powerful .BSC Invitational which was won by
national power Hampton Institute.
The spring season appears to be as challenging as
ever with several Division I teams appearing on the
schedule including Navy, Richmond, William & Mary,
Penn State, Temple, Lehigh and West Chester. There
are many more challenging matches on the schedule.
There will not be a senior on the team but it will be a
veteran one. If everyone plays up to his ability, BSC
should record its eighth consecutive winning season.
COACH BURT REESE
Entering his 11th season
as coach of the Huskies,
Coach Burt Reese expects
another good year. He has
compiled a 1.11-48 record
for a 69% winning average.
In 1977 he was named
Pennsylvania Conference
"Coach of the Year".
A native of Taylor, Pa.,
he earned both his Bachelor of Science and Master of Education degrees at
East Stroudsburg State College where he
co-captained the tennis and basketball teams.
While working on his master's degree, he helped
coach the tennis and basketball teams as a
graduate assistant. He then joined the faculty of
Old Forge High School becoming an assistant
coach in both basketball and football. He served
as athletic director at Abington Heights High
School where he initiated and coached varsity
tennis to a 45-6 record. He was also in charge of
junior high basketball.
Reese, who is a teaching professional in the
summer, is active in the Middle States as a player
and official. As a player, he normally had a men's
singles ranking every year and has been ranked in
the top ten in the M.S.T.A. in singles and has
been in the top three doubles teams for several
years. Currently he is a board member of the
Central Pennsylvania Tennis Patrons Association
and a director of the Central Pennsylvania Tennis
Association. He is also the chairman of the tennis
committee for the ECAC Division II and Ill which
is the largest conference in the country.
Reese has also served as assistant basketball
coach since his arrival on campus.

PA. This is the third year for Rob. After
playing #2 during his first two seasons,
