COLUMBIA, S.C. – Benedict College's Mark Chigaazira and Divgurjot Singh have been named to the 2023 Academic All-District® Men's Tennis Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators.
 
Chigaazira was recently named the SIAC Men's Tennis Player of the Year after going 13-2 overall and 10-1 in conference play at the No. 1 singles position during the regular season. Chigaazira partnered with doubles teammate and brother Jason Chigaazira to build a 10-5 overall record at No. 1 doubles spot, and 8-3 in SIAC play to receive all-conference honors. He helped lead the Tigers to third place in the 2023 SIAC tournament. He was named All-SIAC in 2022 and helped the Tigers to the conference championship.
