ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Following an impressive run at the Patriot League qualifier event for next month's ITA Conference Masters Championships, Navy women's tennis senior Emily Tannenbaum was named the Naval Academy Athletic Association (NAAA) Athlete of the Week, presented by Northrop Grumman, on Tuesday.
 
Earning the league's singles bid to the ITA Conference Masters and then teaming up with classmate Parvathi Shanker to claim the Patriot League doubles berth as well, Tannenbaum went a perfect 7-0 over the weekend in West Point, N.Y.
 
Posting wins over Lehigh's Maggie Forkner, Boston's Gabriella Mikaul, Army's Cooper Jackson and BU's Uma Bakaityte to earn the singles crown, Tannenbaum also partnered with Shanker to knock off pairings from Lafayette, Loyola and Boston to receive the league's automatic doubles bid for the ITA Conference Masters Championship draw set for Nov. 7-10 in Rome, Ga.
 
By qualifying for the ITA Conference Masters Championship, Tannenbaum is now five wins away from advancing to the NCAA Singles Championship, while she and Shanker are five victories from advancing to the NCAA Doubles Championship.
 
The program record-holder for career singles and doubles wins, Tannenbaum is 14-3 on the season in singles play and has posted a 12-2 doubles record, taking home the singles and doubles "A" draws at the Bill & Sandra Moore Invitational as well as garnering Tournament MVP honors at the San Diego Veterans Tennis Classic.
