NEW YORK -- Creighton women's tennis freshman Erin Epperson claimed BIG EAST Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week honors, the league announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Epperson helped the Bluejays' to a 3-0 start this week in Orlando, Florida with six victories. The freshman claimed three straight-sets victories during singles play, including a 6-1, 6-1 decision at the No. 2 position against John Carroll on Monday night. She also paired with Claire Embree for three wins at the No. 2 doubles position while dropping a total of four games.
The Bartlesville, Oklahoma native, is tied for the team-lead with nine singles victories (9-2) this season and is a perfect 4-0 with Embree during doubles play.
