ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Helping her team to a 2-0 start in league play, Navy sophomore Emily Tannenbaum was named the Patriot League Women’s Tennis Player of the Week, the league office announced on Tuesday.
The Midshipmen’s No. 1 singles player notched a pair of singles victories and went 1-1 in doubles play over the weekend as Navy grabbed road league wins at Lehigh and Bucknell.
Tannenbaum opened league play by partnering with junior Samantha Johns to post a 6-2 win over Lehigh’s No. 1 pairing of Anushka Dania and Megha Dania, following it up with a three-set singles victory (5-7, 6-4, 10-8) against the Mountain Hawks’ top player, Hamsa Javagal, that helped Navy post a 7-0 sweep of Lehigh.
Despite Tannenbaum and Johns falling in a tiebreaker against the top Bucknell doubles team of Whitney King and Abby Platt, 7-6 (7-3), Tannenbaum bounced back in singles competition via a 6-2, 6-4 victory over King on the No. 1 court, leading the Mids to a sweep of singles play and a 6-1 win over the Bison.
Tannenbaum previously won PL Player of the Week honors on Feb. 7 earlier this season, as well as on April 19, 2022 during her rookie campaign.
Navy’s next match is Saturday, April 1 at rival Army, with this year’s Star match set for an 11 a.m. opening serve.
