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.
