CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Miami’s Alexa Noel was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Week and Virginia’s duo of Melodie Collard and Elaine Chervinsky were tabbed as the Doubles Team of the Week. Wake Forest’s Krystal Blanks earned Freshman of the Week honors. This is the first award for each student-athlete and school this season.
Noel led Miami to a ranked win over No. 9 Texas A&M by defeating the No. 1 ranked player in the country, Mary Stoiana in three sets, 6-2, 6-7 (3), 6-3. The rematch of the ITA All-American Singles Championship evened the match at 3-3 and gave the Hurricanes the momentum they needed to secure a 4-3 win after losing the doubles point. The native of Summit, New Jersey, is currently ranked No. 25 in the nation. Noel also recorded a 6-1 win on doubles Court 3.
Collard and Chervinsky picked up a top-10 win in No. 11 Virginia’s setback against No. 5 Michigan. The duo earned a decisive 6-2 win over the eighth-ranked pair of Jaedan Brown and Kari Miller.
Blanch helped Wake Forest to an undefeated weekend with a pair of wins on the road against Old Dominion. On singles Court 6, the Boca Raton, Florida, native battled to a 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 win after recording a 6-1 win in doubles on Court 2.
