The Knights topped off an outstanding 2005-06 season by being ranked 39th in all of Division II. The ranking is the program's first since 1993 and the first time the team has ever ended the season nationally ranked.
Instrumental in the success of the Knights was the play of Wojciech Stuchlik. The junior finished the 05-06 campaign ranked 1st in the East and 36th in the nation in singles. He also combined with Billy Almeyda for a top ranking in the East and the number 13 spot in the nation in doubles. Rounding out the post season accolades for QC was the announcement that Alan Landes was named ITA East Coach of the Year.

to the NCAA Division II Men’s Tennis National Tournament held in Kansas

Queens’ Jimmy Delevante (jr. Commack, NY/Commack) and Alfredo Perez (sr. Caracas, VENEZUELA / Santiago) picked up the win for the first point
at third doubles, 8-5. Ricardo Yepes
(sr. Bogota/COLOMBIA) and Andrey Vasiliev (sr. Novosibirsk/RUSSIA) won at second doubles, 9-7, while

the Golden Bears, at sixth singles, 6-3, 6-3. Harsh Sharma (Calcutta,
INDIA) followed at second singles with a
commanding win, 6-4, 6-1, after giving up the Bears only loss in the first
round on Thursday. Queens scored next at first singles with Stuchlik knocking off Santiago Baquerizo
