ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Drake's
Ines Stephani earned her second weekly league award of the year with the most recent MVC Player of the Week honor, the conference announced today.
Stephani went 2-0 in singles play over the weekend against Bradley and Illinois State, and both wins were dominating straight-set victories in the top singles slot. She won 6-1, 7-5 against Bradley's Maria Bezmenova to score Drake's fourth point of the match and clinch a victory over the Braves. She also went to two tiebreakers against Tijana Zlatanovic from Illinois State and prevailed to win 7-5 and 7-6.
This is Stephani's second weekly MVC award of the year after teaming up with
Rebecca Ehn for a Doubles Team of the Week nod in January.
The former MVC Player of the Year will lead the Bulldogs into their final regular season match this weekend as Drake welcomes Belmont to Des Moines on Sunday, April 21.
