A total of four Tar Heels earned All-ACC honors in men’s tennis on Thursday, led by First Team selections William Blumberg and Rinky Hijikata.

This marks the fourth consecutive year Blumberg has been a First Team All-ACC performer, and the first time for Hijikata.

Junior Brian Cernoch earned his second appearance on the All-ACC Second Team, while senior Benjamin Sigouin was named to the Third Team–his third career All-ACC selection.

Virginia’s Carl Soderlund was named the ACC Player of the Year.

The Tar Heels recently lost to Soderlund and the Cavaliers in the finals of the ACC Championships.
