EDISON, N.J. – Senior Joana Sun (Mansfield, Mass.) was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Women's Tennis Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon. Sun garnered the honors for her efforts versus Fairfield and Loyola this past week.
Sun had a strong week of performances for the Red Foxes versus two of the MAAC's leading teams, Fairfield and Loyola. On Wednesday at Fairfield, the senior went 2-0 as she swept Allison Radde in straight sets 6-3, 6-3 and teamed with Karly Pang to defeat the Stags' first doubles team of Yajima and Koladzyn 8-1. On Sunday versus Loyola, Sun clinched the Red Foxes' fourth point and consequently the match with a hard-fought 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) win over the Greyhounds' Emily Hughes.
This is Sun's second career weekly award after earning accolades on April 6, 2010. As a team, this is the Red Foxes' second MAAC award of the 2013 season as junior Marielle Campbell (Patterson, N.Y.) won on February 26.
