CHICAGO - In a unanimous selection by the BIG EAST Conference men's tennis coaches, senior Jose Moncada was named to the 2009 All-Conference team for his exceptional performance during the BIG EAST Championships.
Moncada was instrumental in the DePaul's 4-3 win over top-seed Louisville during the semifinals. In the No. 2 singles match, Moncada topped No. 79 Viktor Maksimcuk 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5) to kick start the Blue Demon comeback from a 3-1 deficit.

Moncada, along with doubles partner Alasdair Graetz, paired up to post a 17-9 record together. He has also teamed up to win with Matija Palinic and Austin Doerner. In his three years at DePaul, Moncada has accumulated a doubles tally of 74-39. He leaves with a 71-33 record on the singles court.
