| History |
| Competition in women's tennis began
in 1987 when the NEW 6 conference expanded to include WPI and
Mount Holyoke College making it the NEW 8. From 1987 to 1993
there was a tournament held to determine the conference champion.
In 1994, the conference did not conduct a tournament and awarded
the conference title to the winner of the regular season round-robin
play. Smith College won the first two championships in 1987
and 1988. Brandeis University won the first of their three total
titles in 1989. Wellesley College won back-to-back trophies
in 1990 and 1991. MIT won their first championship in 1992.
Brandeis returned to the top of the conference in 1993 and followed
it up in 1994 with another title. Wellesley completed the deuce
again in 1995 and 1996 before Smith finished the NEW 8 the way
they started, on top. In 1998, the conference began sponsoring
men's sports and changed the name to the New England Women's
and Men's Athletic Conference. The first champion as a result
of round-robin play was Wellesley as they finished undefeated.
In 1999, MIT was crowned the NEWMAC Champion after winning the
conference tournament. The following year, MIT repeated as the
conference tournament winner and was named conference champion
for the third time. In 2001, the winner of the regular season
was named conference champion and Babson, Wellesley, and MIT
finished tied for the top spot all ending the season with 7-1
records. The 2002 conference champion was determined in the
NEWMAC tournament with MIT claiming the title with wins over
Smith and Wellesley. Babson College finished the 2003 season
undefeated in conference play, and completed their sweep with
a win over host MIT in the 2003 NEWMAC tournament finals. Wellesley
College swept the regular season and tournament championships
in 2004 and 2005. |
