ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Following a 3-0 individual performance over the weekend, Navy sophomore
Peyton Amspacher-Philemon has been named the Patriot League Women's Tennis Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.
The sophomore posted a combined 3-0 record for the Mids to help them split Saturday's doubleheader, including being a dominant force in Navy's 6-1 win over Mount St. Mary's.
Against the No. 2 pairing of Daniella O'Neill Garcia and Milana Tsulygina for perennial regionally-ranked Liberty, Amspacher-Philemon and Anna Jordan started the weekend with a 6-2 victory. In the match with the Mount, Amspacher-Philemon then teamed up with
Ji Soo Oh on the third doubles court to post a 6-3 win over Margherita Trolese and Eirini Tsakiri before tallying a 6-1, 6-1 singles victory against the Mountaineers' No. 5 player in Bella Pescatore, helping propel Navy to the team win.
Amspacher-Philemon now sits at 3-0 in singles play this spring and 5-0 in doubles dual action.
The award marks Amspacher-Philemon's first weekly league honor of her career and the Mids' second weekly accolade of the season after freshman
Nicole Fu claimed the award on Jan. 27.
Amspacher-Philemon and Navy will hit the road for a Feb. 14 match at Virginia Tech before coming home Feb. 15 for a doubleheader with Villanova and George Mason.
