Four Zips Honored at Women’s Tennis Banquet

AKRON, Ohio – Junior Sophia Geier (Burgebrach, Germany) was named the team's Most Valuable Player at the Akron women's tennis team's annual awards dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse on Saturday evening.

The team's Most Improved honor went to junior Carli Knezevich (Austin, Texas). Seniors Karolina Maksimova (Mogilev, Belarus) and Shannon Newnes (Romford, London) earned the Coaches' Award.

"Our entire team was deserving of awards this season, making things extremely difficult on the coaching staff in choosing who to ultimately bestow our three awards upon," said seventh-year head coach Brandon Padgett.
