NEW ORLEANS, La. – Coastal Carolina men's tennis student-athletes Christopher Norlin and Eric Tripathi earned recognition in the postseason Sun Belt awards, the league announced on Wednesday.

Norlin was selected to the All-Sun Belt First Team in singles and also garnered doubles honors, as he paired with Tripathi to earn All-Sun Belt Second Team recognition in doubles.

In singles play, Norlin posted a 9-8 record in the No. 1 position, highlighted by a ranked win over No. 94 Veljko Krstic of Elon, 7-6(4), 6-2. He also became the first Chanticleer to earn two Sun Belt Player of the Week selections since Vuk Velickovic accomplished the feat in 2016 during Coastal's time in the Big South Conference.

The doubles duo of Norlin and Tripathi emerged as a strong pairing late in the season, going 4-1 in the No. 1 position while also earning 2026 All-Tournament doubles team honors.
