Hall of Fame
Arguably the greatest men's tennis player in Radford history, Perrone qualified for the 1984 NCAA Division II nationals. He played No. 1 singles and doubles for the Highlanders for three seasons and captained the 1984-85 squad, Radford's first season in NCAA Division I. He led the Highlanders to a second place finish in the Big South Conference that season, earning all-league honors and was also honored as an all-academic performer. The Woodbury, N.J., native burst upon the scene as a freshman in 1982, helping the Highlanders to a 20-5 record, and the team had winning records in three of his four seasons. He was ranked among the Top 10 players on the East Coast as a senior. Since graduation in 1985, Perrone has enjoyed a successful career as a tennis club director, instructor and as a player.
