CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) announced that Coe College senior Greg Janssen (Oshkosh, Wis./West) has been named the 2010 IIAC Men's Tennis Most Valuable Player. Janssen was named all-conference in both singles and doubles.
Janssen won the Flight A Singles Championship and teamed with junior Elliot Rausa (Waterloo, Iowa/Columbus) to finish second in the Flight A Doubles tournament.

He is the second Coe Flight A singles champion in three years, capturing the title when Dubuque's Nick Garcia retired after the first set due to illness. Janssen capped his senior season with a 45-18 overall record, including a 21-9 mark in singles. He and Rausa advanced to the final in the doubles draw with a win over Luther's Utsab Rijal and Scott Martin in the semifinal, then fell to Wartburg's Mitch Eslick and Tom Koenen in the championship match.

Janssen is the fifth different Coe men's tennis player to be named IIAC Men's Tennis MVP, joining Johnny Watson (1999-2000-01), Nick Barnes (2002-03-04), Ryan Yao (2005), and Tom Jennings (2008).
