Norwell’s Eddy Archnbold inked the next four years of tennis with Huntington University Thursday afternoon.
The senior doubles player just wrapped up his second season on varsity as an all-conference honorable mention in the Northeast 8 and was a sectional champion in 2023.
“It means a lot,” Archbold said. “I’ve been playing since nine years old. I’ve just been developing my game for a long time and I was really excited to extend that and play for as long as I can.”
Archbold won’t be traveling too far to Huntington but said he is excited to join the faith-based institution and small community. On his visit, it felt like home and that he could get connected.
The Foresters play in the Crossroads League, and finished the fall season at 9-2 in hopes to continue its winning ways to the springtime. The team has enjoyed five straight seasons of winning under now fifth-year head coach Ignacio Poncio. Assistant coach Franco Minoldo Garcia was in attendance for the signing.
Archbold plans to study business management at Huntington, where he would like to potentially extend his tennis passion even further.
“Maybe, I want to work with tennis in the future,” Archbold said. “Not just in college but make a business out of it.”
