ATLANTA, GA- Leading his team to the highest conference finish in school history, Millsaps' Men's Tennis coach Jason Box was named the Southern Athletic Association's Coach of the Year. 

Box guided the men's team to a sterling 16-4 overall record, including a 4-1 conference mark. That SAA record earned the Majors the two-seed in the tournament and eventually, a birth in the tournament's title match. 

This is the second Coach of the Year award for Coach Box, his first on the men's side. He was the 2012 Women's Coach of the Year in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). Perhaps even more impressive, Box earned the award this year while coaching three freshmen to all-conference honors, including Diego Marti-Vertiz being named Newcomer of the Year. 

In his career, coach Box sits at 56-45 over five seasons with the men's team and 65-35 with the women.
