Greensboro, N.C. - NC State senior Eric Jackson was selected to the 2001 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Tennis Team Thursday afternoon by a vote of the league's nine head coaches.

Jackson, a Stone Mountain, Ga. native, finishes his NC State career with 47 doubles victories, a mark that now stands third in school history behind Scott Dillon (50, 1976-79) and Roberto Bracone (50, 1996-99). In singles, Jackson amassed 59 triumphs, which ties him for ninth in NC State history with Bill Christy (1975-78).

"Eric finished very strong for us after a difficult fall," said NC State head coach Eric Hayes. "He was able to recover nicely this season and showed a huge committment to his game and his team. It is my hope that he can continue that type of dedication to the professional ranks in the future."

This is the second All-ACC honor for Jackson, who also received the award in 2000.
