NEW YORK – St. John’s Daniel Skripnik and Marquette’s Paula Tormos Sanchez garner Men’s and Women’s Tennis Athletes of the Week, respectively.
BIG EAST Men’s Tennis Athlete of the Week
Daniel Skripnik, St. John’s, Jr.
Skripnik shined with a perfect weekend in both singles and doubles play as the Johnnies claimed a pair of team wins over Marquette and Monmouth. With the match against the Golden Eagles tied 3-3, all eyes turned to court six. Playing in his first singles match in over a year, following a pair of surgeries that sidelined the junior, Skripnik dropped the opening set, 6-4, but rallied to claim the second in convincing fashion, 6-2, to send the final match into a fitting tiebreaker.
