Waterville, Maine — The New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) announced its 2026 Men's Tennis All-Conference awards today, with Colby sophomores Jason Daly and Marco Ziets-Segura earning Second Team honors.

Daly secured a spot on the All-NESCAC Second Team for both singles and doubles, while Ziets-Segura earned his first career conference recognition as a Second Team doubles selection alongside Daly.

This marks the second consecutive year that Daly has been recognized as one of the premier players in the conference. In 2025, he burst onto the scene as the NESCAC Rookie of the Year while earning Second Team honors in both singles and doubles. By repeating that feat in 2026, Daly becomes one of the few players in program history to secure four All-Conference nods within his first two seasons.

Operating at the No. 1 singles position all spring, Daly faced a difficult Division III schedule. His season was highlighted by a gritty three-set victory (6-3, 3-6, 6-3) over Bates that sparked a 5-2 rivalry win for the Mules. Overall he recorded seven singles victories on the season. 

In doubles play, the duo of Daly and Ziets-Segura anchored the top of the Colby ladder. The pair proved to be a formidable match for the conference's elite, consistently pushing nationally-ranked opponents. Ziets-Segura's first All-NESCAC selection follows a season where his consistency at the No. 1 doubles with Daly helped the Mules secure the No. 7 seed in the NESCAC Championship tournament. In the spring Daly and Ziets-Segura totaled seven doubles wins together. 

Be on the lookout for these two and the rest of the Colby Men's Tennis team this fall.
