Lady Vol earns SEC Player of the Week tennis honors

Tennessee women’s tennis freshman Katrina Scott was named SEC Player of the Week on Tuesday.

Scott recorded two straight-set singles wins over ranked opponents. She also won both of her doubles matches with each clinching an opening point of the match, helping the Lady Vols earn two SEC victories during the final week of the regular season.

In Thursday’s win over Ole Miss, Scott was the first Tennessee player to finish her singles match as she defeated Emily Welker, 6-0, 6-2, converting 73 percent of her first serves. She also won 55 percent of her return points.

In a match against LSU, she also won in singles and doubles for Tennessee, who will be a No. 8 seed in the SEC Tournament and will have a first-round BYE.

“We are thrilled for our program and Katrina for being named SEC Player of the Week,” Tennessee head coach Alison Ojeda said. “She’s a great player and an amazing person who has whole heartedly embraced our program. There’s a lot more to come.”
