PITMAN, N.J. – William Paterson senior Brittany LaBruna (Bloomingdale, N.J./Continental Academy) garnered her fourth consecutive New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Tennis Player of the Year award, the first student-athlete in league history to accomplish the feat.
 
LaBruna also earned a spot on the NJAC All-Singles Team for the fourth straight year (2013-16), and joined freshman teammate Kaworu Ishikawa (Egg Harbor Twp., N.J./Egg Harbor Twp.) on the 2016 NJAC All-Doubles Team.
 
The Sept. 12, Oct. 3, Oct. 10 and Oct. 24 NJAC Player of the Week, LaBruna was 15-1 at first singles this season, including a 6-0 mark in league play, and secured the NJAIAW Tournament Flight A singles title Oct. 9. She also advanced to the third round of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Small College Northeast Regional Championship Sept. 23-24, and was named October's ECAC Co-Player of the Month.
 
LaBruna finished her four-year career with a 67-6 singles record, including a perfect 23-0 mark in NJAC play, was the 2013 NJAC Rookie of the Year, and was named a 2013 and 2015 ITA all-American after winning those years' ITA Northeast Regional titles.
 
Ishikawa and LaBruna were 5-1 overall in first-doubles play, including a 3-1 mark against league foes. It is the first all-conference award for Ishikawa, and the third all-doubles certificate for LaBruna (2013, 2014, 2016).
