McNally Earns A-10 Most Outstanding Performer; Meyer Named Coach of the Year

Kyle McNally, Sai Dore, Mikkel Zinder, And Brady Hussey Each Earned All-Conference Honors

WASHINGTON, D.C. – University of Dayton sophomore Kyle McNally has been named the Atlantic 10 Most Outstanding Player for the 2025 season, highlighting the individual honors for the Flyers, the league office announced Monday afternoon. In addition, head coach Ryan Meyer was named the A-10 Coach of the Year for the second time in his career.
 
McNally becomes the second Flyer to earn the distinction of the league's Most Outstanding Performer, joining UD Hall of Famer Jordan Benjamin in the honor (2018 and 2019). The 2024 Most Outstanding Rookie went 26-8 in singles overall in 2024-25, including an 18-4 mark in spring action, while also adding 20 wins in doubles. McNally also earns All-Conference first team honors for the second time in his career.
 
Joining McNally on the All-Atlantic 10 first team are junior Sai Dore and sophomore Mikkel Zinder. Dore, who was also selected as an All-Academic Team honoree, had the best season of his career in his final campaign, going 15-8 in singles and 17-6 in doubles. The A-10 All-Academic team is reserved for student-athletes who are above sophomore eligibility and are a significant contributor to the team with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
 
Zinder, who was an A-10 Second Team member a season ago, went 19-1 during the season in singles and added 12 wins in doubles to earn the All-First Team honor in 2025.
 
Freshman Brady Hussey was named the All-Atlantic 10 second team after going 17-9 in singles and 20-11 in doubles.
 
Coach Meyer, who just finished his 12th season at the helm of the Flyers' men's tennis program, earned the Coach of the Year award for the second time in his tenure. UD finished the season with a program-record 22 wins and made a run to the A-10 Championship match for the fourth straight season. The 20-win season was just the second in program history for UD, and the Flyers have now won 15+ matches seven times in the Meyer era - - 2025 (22), 2024 (19), 2023 (15), 2022 (16), 2019 (16), 2018 (18) and 2016 (16). Meyer also became Dayton's all-time winningest men's tennis coach this season and has now won 179 times as the head coach for the Flyers.
