FRISCO — Sam Houston junior Sahaja Yamalapalli has been selected as the Southland Conference women's tennis Player of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
Â
Yamalapalli continued to roll in No. 1 singles action, picking up a pair of wins to improve to 11-0 on the season as she has yet to drop a single set this spring.
Â
Her win over previously unbeaten Ank Vullings of UNO on March 19 helped the Bearkats top the previously undefeated Privateers to move to 5-0 in Southland Conference play. Earlier in the week, Yamalapalli topped UTRGV's top player, Kristyna Mamicova, in straight sets and teamed with No. 1 doubles partner Roos Gerritsen to earn their fifth win of the season on March 15.
Â
This is the second time Yamalapalli has been named the SLC Player of the Week. She swept both of her matches at No. 1 singles against Prairie View A&M on Jan. 17.
