Macon, Ga. -- Campbell's Tanya Ahuja has been selected as the A-Sun's Player
of the Week after a week in which she posted a 3-0 record and extended her current
winning streak to eight matches, league officials announced today.
Ahuja, a New Delhi, India native, helped clinch Campbell's 4-3 win over North
Florida with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory at the No. 6 singles spot. Her win over
UNF's Carolina de Melo was the first of the week but certainly not her last.
Ahuja marched past Stetson's Daniella Palmiotto (6-0, 6-2) on Wednesday before
the Fighting Camels downed Lipscomb 7-0, including a 7-5, 6-3 win for Ahuja
over Caitlin Khouri.
The sophomore is being honored for the first time as the POTW. She is the first
student-athlete from Campbell to be honored as such this season.
The Atlantic Sun Player of the Week is announced every Tuesday during the
2007 tennis season.
The 12-member league headquartered in Macon, Ga., consists of Belmont, Campbell,
ETSU, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Mercer, UNF and
Stetson with Florida Gulf Coast and USC Upstate beginning competition in 2007-08.
