BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Aniketh Ayinala won a trio of matches last weekend for the Navy men's tennis team to earn him the Patriot League Player-of-the-Week accolade, the league office announced today.  It marks the first time the senior has garnered the league's weekly award.

Ayinala earned a pair of wins during Navy's 5-2 victory over Bucknell on Saturday.  He and Steve Nguyen first combined for a 6-3 victory at No. 3 doubles, then Ayinala defeated Adam Stavrakas, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, at No. 2 singles.

The next day, Ayinala and Jake Young held a 5-2 lead in their No. 2 doubles matches when it was stopped due to the Mids securing the doubles point against Colgate.  He went on to beat Witt Bulger, 6-3, 6-3, at No. 2 singles as part of a 7-0 victory by Navy over Colgate.

Navy will close its regular season Saturday at 1 p.m. when the Mids play host to Army in the annual Star Match.
