LOGAN, Utah – Utah State junior Hannah Jones has been named the Mountain West Women's Tennis Player of the Week for matches played through Tuesday, March 26, as announced by the league offices.
Overall, it is the first time this season and the third time in her career that Jones has earned MW Player of the Week honors.
Jones, a native of South Ogden Utah, posted a combined 4-0 record last week as Utah State notched a 2-0 road record with a 4-3 win at Creighton and a 7-0 neutral-court win against North Dakota. Against the Blue Jays, Jones recorded a straight-set win at the No. 3 spot (6-3, 6-4) and teamed with sophomore Alexandra Taylor in doubles play at the top spot, where they recorded a 6-2 win. With her two wins against Creighton, she recorded 100 career wins and currently ranks eighth all-time in program history for the most combined singles and doubles wins (102). Against the Fighting Hawks, Jones won in straight sets at the No. 3 spot (6-2, 6-1) and teamed with Taylor for a 6-2 win at the first doubles position.
Utah State women's tennis (9-7, 0-0 MW) will have a week and a half break before opening its Mountain West schedule in Albuquerque, N.M., as the Aggies take on New Mexico (7-7, 0-0 MW) on Friday, April 5, at noon.
